Ken turned 75 today, so we had a party. Fifteen friends came to celebrate and dine with us. It was all very pleasant and friendly.
When we married in 1958, Ken's life expectancy was 42. Turning 75 is quite an accomplishment for him. Normally, he does not enjoy the fuss of birthdays, but tonight was low keyed and easy and he liked it, I think. It was a congenial group. I served dinner at two tables so the conversation was comfortable. I know my friends prefer dinner seated at one long table but I prefer the small groupings, with six people at one table and nine at another.
We served smoked Nova Scotia salmon with cream cheese and capers and crackers as the appetizer , salad made by Mary McD. for first course, followed by Penni pasta with marinara sauce and meatballs for main course and ice cream birthday cake for dessert. Good, nourishing food. Easy to prepare and serve. It was a good night to celebrate Ken's important birthday.
