Last week was our Anniversary!
Time does funny things to anniversary celebrations.
- We used to agonize over finding perfect gifts and cards.
- Then it changed to just gifts – no cards.
- And from there it was cards only – no gifts.
- Then we decided to buy something needed for the house like new sub flooring and drywall to cope with an outbreak of mold.
But now, to celebrate another year of wedded bliss, our diabolical friends came over for laughs and libations before we all went out to dinner at the Natural Bridge Hotel.
And this is how they met us at the door!

It is interesting how things change across the years. 🙂

Ha.. Did they have an explanation, Dorann? Are they love bandits? Wrinkle-shy?

I just figured this was you and Bill dealing with the interior mushrooms.
Happy Anniversary!

Do you think they were trying to tell you something Dora ? Hope all is well with you and yours and all problems solved.

Bahaha! Love your friends :). Happy anniversary to you and Bill. I think like Mike and I, laughter has been one of the major factors to making your marriage a long and happy one. Am I right?

Isn’t it funny how it morphs? Our anniversary is this coming week. We aren’t even talking gifts anymore. We will use the occasion as an excuse to get lobster tails. (although mostly we don’t really need an excuse for that).

They were making fun of our mold problem – hence the masks for protection from spores drifting. Cracked us up. 🙂

We should have thought of that Cindy but since Bill has been sitting in that very room unmasked for many years, we continued on mask-free. “Ignorance is bliss.” 🙂

You always “get it” Cindy! And yes, you would love these friends (who look like axe murderers in the photo). When you come for a visit, we will all have to get together. 🙂 P.S. You are right about laughter being a prime ingredient in a relationship. 🙂

Lobster tails!!!! I would want that every anniversary and many times in between. We had dinner at a big seafood buffet last night – nice but minus lobster. We are an inland area so lucky to get what we can.

You guessed it! Tis Pete and Phebe acting up again. They are so funny. The awful mold problem is theoretically solved. Janet is coming to visit next week so will help us pick out a carpet. Life is good. 🙂

That is a riot! What great fun-loving friends you have! Hope you had a swell anniversary. Who knew that we long-married folks would progress from romantic anniversary gifts, flowers, chocolates, and mushy cards to new drywall? 😉

When you get to be a certain age there is very little you need any more, much less have space to store it. The best gift is a happy memory!
