Tomorrow the first trailer will roll into our yard at the ranch.   It will be the beginning of our celebration for our 55th anniversary.   I will be excited to see the trailer enter the ranch.   Up until now, everything I have done is not really concrete except for the practical purchases of cutlery, paper plates, water and ice.  But all that is a bit like setting the table.  It is not very interesting.  Up until now, everything has been what was about to happen, at a time many months down the road,  but tomorrow,   it will become reality.   This 55th celebration is becoming reality.
I always keep my emotions in check.   My role is always to stay steady, nether getting excited or discouraged.   For the past two years, I have been actively involved with planning and implementing this event but I have never gotten excited... until now.   My expectations have always been that we will have a lovely time but not that I am full of grandiose ideas and excitement.  Tomorrow, when the first trailer enters the ranch gate, I will be excited..and anxious.
