Another Anniversary

That time again. Another year flew by. On this day, 38 years ago, the hubster and I were married. All odds were against us for a variety of reasons. Then, the church we were married in burned down. The next year our minister got a divorce. The list goes on, but the thing about getting older is you can't recall most of the things that threatend to "do you in". Here we are still side by side. Unbelievable, I can hardly say the words 38 years.... people look at us like we should be ancient in wheel chairs, at least all the younger people we know.

As has happened for at least half of those years, hubby is out of town on business. So we celebrate whenever we can, but rarely on the actual day. We went out to dinner a couple of nights ago, for a fine steak and a bit of wine. We shared this cute little pumpkin spice tid-bit for dessert. When we first saw it, we thought we should have ordered two, but it was so incredibly sweet, it was just the right amount.


I've had a blog malfunction. While poting from hotel in San Diego (my last post) I somehow managed to disable the comment feature. I don't know how or what I did, or how to fix it. So this is a test to see if it was just a fluke. So here goes.

  2. Yay! It's working. Thanks. Yes, the folks at Jasper's did it. At first I thought they did it "special for us" LOL...but the fact that the plate was ice cold and so was the chocolate lettering gave it away. I guess they have these done up ahead of time, in the freezer. Still a nice touch though.

  5. Janet and Linda, Thanks for the wishes. It was the only dessert that sounded good to us. Everything on most dessert menus is way too sweet. This one was just perfect.

  6. Comments appear to be working. Happy Anniversary. Thirty-eight years is a significant achievement, for longevity does not come without effort. My best to you both.

  7. Thanks Marylinn. We do feel fortunate indeed. I heard a great quote from an old couple who, when asked how they did it, said "We never fell OUT of LOVE at the same time". That's the best way I know to make any marriage last.
