Haven't been on here much the past few weeks. Been planning a big surprise party for Mrs. Puff tomorrow night for our 30th wedding anniversary. Took the day off work so she and I can have the whole day to do some stuff around the city. Taking her to dinner at her favorite restaurant, then bringing her home to a surprise party with some close friends and family and her favorite bluegrass band playing a private concert for her in our living room. Can't wait to see her face when we walk in tomorrow night!

Congratulations sir. That is truly a major accomplishment and rare today. Seems like nowadays many take the easy way out instead of trying to work it out and rediscovering why you got married in the first place. That's a very special day you've planned.3

Gratz puff. That's a huge milestone. My ol' lady just turned 30.

Congratulations to you and your better half. Sounds like you have put a lot of thought and effort to make her day special. To last 30 years together, this is not the first time you have put her before many other options. Hope both of you have a great day. Well done Doug.
@Puff_Dougie for president!!

So what's her fave bluegrass band?
We're headed to Breaks Interstate Park weekend of the 12th June for a Bluegrass festival. Thing about Bluegrass is, no one has ever yet played a doleful tune on the banjo. If you ain't feelin happy, go get yourself some Bluegrass.“It has been a source of great pain to me to have met with so many among [my] opponents who had not the liberality to distinguish between political and social opposition; who transferred at once to the person, the hatred they bore to his political opinions.” —Thomas Jefferson (1808)

Great band, I'm a longtime bluegrass fan, looking forward to the http://www.bluegrasspreservation.org weekly podcast and several weekly radio shows. The podcast DJ is a cornball but he plays great music.Join us on Zoom vHerf (Meeting # 2619860114 Password vHerf2020 )1

Congratulations Mr and Mrs Puff! That's quite an accomplishment, she has to be a patient and understanding lady, lol. You must have some good memories from those 30 years though. Hope you have a great time, cheers to you both.2

What an Epic night! Six months in the making, and Mrs. Puff was totally blown away! We spent the afternoon knocking around the shops in the Pittsburgh Strip District (not what it sounds like... it's international groceries, specialty shops and an awesome cigar shop called the Leaf & Bean), smoked a Leaf by Oscar maduro lancero. Had a nice seafood dinner while the band and guests set everything up, then took her home to be best surprise ever! Here's a couple clips of the band playing in my living room...
