A gift borne on the waves of forty-one years, I caught the scent as I walked down the stairs this morning. One step, then another, the fragrance rose up as I began my descent into the day. The sweet essence reminded me to bring down the anniversary card I had hidden where all my good cards go to hide. Back up, from the landing I went, snatched the card, and slowly drifted downward to a sea of lilies, lisianthus and love. So began the 41st year of our life together.
Happy Anniversary, Tom!
Jennifer and Jason, Heather and Andrew, who share May anniversaries with us, mere days apart – you all work hard to catch up to us!
Happy Anniversary!

Happy anniversary to you both. What a beautiful way to start the day and to start year 41. Is there a meal at White Castle in your near future?

Haha! That would have been a cheaper choice last night, Janet. White Castle – here we come. Thank you.

There is only 20 minutes left in this day, west coast time, so in a way, I got here just under the wire! 🙂 I hope you had a beautiful day, Penny. You and Tom have a really special relationship that spans from college to today, and that does give others a huge goal to aim towards. What a loving and wonderful couple you are, and I wish you many more years, my friend. Happy Anniversary for at least a few more days. 🙂

Thank you. I’ve been rather sluggish at replying to other, it seems, and understand, but, you know, Perpetua, one of the virtues of the virtual reality we live is that we are never really late. Thank, again.
