Yesterday was our 56th wedding anniversary. When we were younger, and lived just outside of Chicago, we braved the very cold weather to go into the city for dinner and to see a play/musical. We saw some great plays with some outstanding Broadway stars and had a wonderful time. Now we don't live anywhere near that caliber of entertainment so I entertained my husband by cracking and eating King Crab legs and drawn butter. As you can see by this picture, this was a labor of love, both for him (laughing) and for me (eating).
I recently started getting my nails done, again, and have had Christmas trees, a flower, and now a heart painted on my ring fingers. I had the heart done for our anniversary but I don't think it will last until Valentines so I will have to think of something else. I have looked at several designs online but most of them are so elaborate and at this stage in my life I am a little more subdued.
The other day, as I was getting ready to take my morning's rations of pills, I looked at that long line and was seriously amused. For all of my life I have been a really bad pill taker. Even when I was on birth control pills, I always had at least one or two leftover at the end of each month. And now look what my morning activity is. I take these with a protein drink and by the time all that is down, I am not hungry for hours. I haven't been able to eat a good breakfast for months. But these pills are what is keeping me going so I am not really complaining, just commenting. 😃
And, once again, our plants think it is spring and are blooming. It has been in the high 70s all this past week so we have been running around in flip flops: I haven't pulled any shorts out but I have thought of it. I think it is going to be in the 60s next week but even that is comfortable and allows for time outside. I try to spend some knitting time sitting on the deck each day cuz I know when winter comes back I will be stuck inside except when I "run" between the house and the studio.
Have a great week, Gari

Happy Anniversary! That's a long time to be married to one person. It's good you both still have a good time together and laugh. Hopefully you missed out on all the nasty weather this weekend. It got pretty exciting in parts of the south this weekend. We just got the rain.
