35 down and hopefully more to go

This was our big day – thirty five years ago.  I’ve had enough weddings this summer to appreciate the fact that we did things more simply back in those days.  I guess we could have had a princess style wedding but we didn’t.  Couldn’t afford one of those.  And back then if we asked a friend to be a bridesmaid, we also were saying to them – I will provide the dress.  That doesn’t seem to be the case these days.  Times have changed.

Anyway, 35 years ago was a pretty exciting day.  And I am glad that we made a lasting commitment to each other then intending it to last.  And it has.  And there is a whole lot more love, a lot deeper kind of love now than when we first started out.

This afternoon at work I received flowers – in addition to the book I bought for myself last weekend that was supposed to be my gift to myself from him.  And in addition to that beautiful little laptop – which was a total surprise. 

Tonight we went out for supper.  Ate too much.  We tried out a different restaurant – Sopranos.  The food was good but our steak was definitely not medium rare.  It is hard to uncook a steak but they offered to try again and got it done very nicely the second time.  Leo had a small incident with his glass of wine.  One shouldn’t reach over a wine glass to retrieve a dish for the waiter! 

Now early to bed.
