Note: This is the last of the stories that Ilona had written for us for this little project where I posted her stories as a guest writer. If she writes any new ones, she has promised to share them with us again. So, after this, I will be posting a few poems and stories and blog/memoir insights on this page of my own writing, and if Ilona sends me another story, I will post it, and we will be sure to let you all know. Thank you all for reading these wonderful stories from Ilona and for giving Ilona so many wonderful comments along the way. Marcie
February 26 is My Anniversary
That was the day I arrived at the Sea-Tac airport after I received my visa and entry permit. November 1953 I married the wonderful man I had met while working for General Eisenhower
Of course our Iona makes a friend of everyone she meets. Tammy is no exception! What a delightful little tale to conclude this collection of memories (poignant to funny to beautiful photos) and visions of good food and wine. Thank you for these many gifts dear Ilona. I am hoping that this may not be the very last contribution. I so love your stories — and you. Here’s to more anniversary toasts on February 26th!
I love the way Hal and Ilona celebrated the anniversary of her arrival in Seattle, first with the ever so appropriate dining at the airport, and then at Benjamin
