This makes 45

[stiles watson]

We will be out of touch for awhile. I am taking my princess to a German castle in Bavaria. We will be residing there for about two weeks. We will be staying at Sommersdorf not too far from Munich. I tell folks that we are returning to our roots, not German roots (although Dianna was a Crain, as German as you can get), but our regal roots.

We will use the castle for a hub and branch out from there to do some hiking and other non-directed touristy stuff. This is being done in view of our 45th wedding anniversary.

We enjoyed 18 days in the British Isles for our 40th. I bought a new simple, digital camcorder for the trip. If this one is simple, it would take a college degree to operate one that wasn't. Maybe I'll learn how to post a picture or two when we return.

That should be a great trip. My wife and I made it to Garmish but the Castle was closed for tours. It was 1 Nov. Had a lot of fun with the Christmas village there also. Enjoy the food, beer and wine. You can not go wrong.

Stiles, no wonder you've been married 45 years. An anniversary celebration in a castle in Bavaria? Most guys have never had a thought like that cross their mind. Sorry, guys.

Stiles,

Congratulations on 45 years of marriage. Debbie and I will celebrate 30 years this Wednesday. Wish I could say we were going to be in a castle, but alas, Debbie is working and won't be free until schools out. Enjoy yourselves and have a wonderful trip. We'll look forward to your debut as a producer/director/cameraman.

Wait, wait, A man's home is his castle! Let's see - flowers, a nice bling-bling, a romantic candle lit dinner. Maybe I can just pull this off...Naw, it still won't be Bavaria. Hmm, I wonder...

Stiles,
Congrats on the 45 years. Your trip sounds dreamy. Lamar and Debbie congrats to you also. I bet Debbie will be happy with flowers and a nice candlelight dinner she doesn't have to cook or do dishes.
