Paradise

I thought I'd try something for my parents' 50th wedding anniversary. I decided to call it Paradise, for a couple of reasons.

1. Sunsets are golden.

2. We may think of a scene like this as "paradise," but usually while we are at a place like this, we are wishing we were sleeping in our own bed, where things are comfortable and just like we like them.

After 50 years things ought to be pretty comfortable. The kinks have, for the most part, been worked out, and it's smooth sailing. And while there might be an argument here or there, even in the finest paradise you can get sand in your shorts.
