Sorry, TH. this is my anniversary, and i spent 31 years getting here. Part of that accomplishment was learning to phrase things nicely and say it will a smile. I am not worried that I will never receive flowers. And though I admit I admire florists' flowers, and I often send them to others, I am usually happy with a good looking bouquet from the grocery. It's not the end of the world. There are still jewelry stores with things I like, too!

Women and anniverseries smile LOL, I know, I know. It's just exhausing with Christmas, Mother's Day, Valentines Day, Birthday, etc, etc.

Out of curiousity, what did you get him?

A bottle of champagne with fresh raspberries, the steaks in the fridge, a cake, and a danish for breakfast in the morning.

Yes, we're going to stay at a hotel at the beach next weekend, just for one night. But it is time away, together. Not something we do often.

If you haven't seen the picture on facebook, my husband left work early today to drive to the Fresh Market where they have beautiful roses and he bought me 2 dozen roses -- Cayenne and Blush. And they are gorgeous! I thanked him for going out of his way to do that for me. Then I made the steak, potatoes and salad I had originally planned for last night. And we'll have the cake again after that. And then, who knows what we will do for the evening's entertainment?! This actually worked out very nicely. We celebrated our anniversary two evenings in a row, and we still have the night at a hotel at the beach planned for next weekend. So the 31st is turning into a very big celebration.

Doc, I hope that she liked the card and the chocolates and the flowers if you get those too. I am really happy that things have turned out so well for you, even though it came after both of you lost your jobs. Funny how it seems no matter how we try we can never "have it all". But the important thing is to be happy with what we have. We could always have even less.

Reminds me of what a famous person once said…..

You can't always get what you want
But if you try sometimes, well you might find you'll get what you need


And if I claim to be a wise man, well
