Norm gave Joyce her engagement ring on February 14, 1952. The wedding took place on August 25, 1952. We celebrate both events as part of our anniversary. We went to Red Robin in Eugene last week. To Joyce's surprise, Norm turned the menu over and asked, "Can we share one of these milkshakes?" The waitress said that we could. Instead of bringing one big glass with two straws, she brought two separate glasses with whipped cream on top. Joyce said, "We have been sharing for 57 years." The waitress asked if this was our anniversary. We explained that is the beginning of the celebration. Another person came by and said that she understood that this is our first visit to Red Robin and she gave us additional bread. Joyce noticed other employees looking our way and talking. To our amazement, the waitress brought us not only our change but also another coworker and a beautiful bouquet and a card. The manager came by and explained that the service was slowed so that they could get the flowers and card. The next time that you are in Red Robin, have a chocolate milkshake. We recommend it.
