Mom & Dad Hyde celebrate 45 years
Mom and Dad Hyde came into town last weekend to enjoy Justus’ gymnastics meet. After the meet, we stopped at Freebirds World Burrito for lunch. It was the first time at Freebirds for all of us – and we all thoroughly enjoyed it. Beat your heart out, Chipotle Mexican Grill!
We came home, lounged on the back porch and enjoyed the sunshine. The air was full of cool breezes and bird songs. The mild weather and the blooming plants gave Mom spring fever – she was ready to start planting!
Later on, Mom and Dad Brandau brought some wine over and we had a toast on the back porch to celebrate Mom and Dad Hyde’s 45 years of marriage. The Brandau’s also surprised Mom and Dad with a beautiful cake and fresh flowers. Dad graciously cooked our ribeyes and t-bone steaks on our grill, and we enjoyed baked sweet potatoes, asparagus, and a tossed salad with fresh blue cheese.
Then, we dug into the cake – moist yellow cake with cream cheese frosting and pineapple filling. Oh man, was that incredible! So much so, the Bluebell ice cream we served was less sweet than the frosting.
Hmm. It sure seems like all we did was eat!
It was a great evening. Mom and Dad have set a great example of fidelity and faithfulness, and leave us a legacy of love. Thanks Mom and Dad.

We had a great time! Thanks for celebrating with us and thanks for the cards, cake and flowers. We love all of you!
Dave, thanks for keeping the blog going. It keeps us close to you and the family.
Congratulations! Five more years and it will be fifty. Now doesn’t that make you feel old?
