a special day

Good morning.
I've just returned from cleaning the Salon.....as usual....
I ended up getting out of work fairly early Saturday, so I came home and worked on the leaves. Every few days, there's more. Should be another 2 weeks before they're all down.
And today is a special day. 35 years ago today, Craig and I decided to move in together. Of course, back then, who knew how long that would last. I was 23, him 25. I was in beauty school, he was teaching at MSU. But apparently, it was meant to be. And now, 35 years later, I can't imagine life without him.
So, today, even though it's a milestone, we'll be doing our usual Sunday routine. Oh, we'll have an anniversary lunch, but that will wait until tomorrow. Restaurants are too busy on Sunday. That also will make our anniversary last longer. :-)
Gifts? No. We haven't exchanged gifts in years. We have everything we need, and can't afford every thing we want. :-)
I'll let Craig sleep in as long as he wants today, and I'll look through my digital photo albums thinking of everything we've been through over the years, and wondering what direction our future may lead us. Because today is a special day.

  1. HAPPY ANNIVERSARY!
    It is great you've lasted together for so long. :)

    We don't exchange gifts for the same reasons. Only difference is we do dinner instead of lunch.

    Have a great day and enjoy your weekend!

    P.S. Maybe you should make it 35 years in pics now. ;-)

  5. Congrats! Jim and I are the same way about gifts. We don't exchange for anything.
