11 Years!

Hello Friends,

I hope y'all are enjoying a stress-LESS weekend!

I'm a day late and a dollar short!

Yesterday was actually DH's and my anniversary -- but like the Jester's (fools) cap, my trains of thought were pointing this-way-and-that ... and of course, nothing got accomplished.

How'd we mark the occasion?  

Well, I'd be lying if I said I don't long to dress up and go out on the town.  Then again, it's probably unbecoming to doze off before the creme brulee' is served.

So!  Rather than splurge on drinks and dinner at some high-end restaurant, I thought it might be fun to spread out the occasion at more, less costly venues.   (Remember those 'progressive dinners', popular in the 70's?) 

Yesterday was breakfast - probably my favorite meal of the day!   Jus' one of the reasons I love this fella, Tom doesn't get embarrassed if I order the 'lumberjack' breakfast, with extra sides of bacon and sausage ... and clean my plate.

He surprised me/us with a pair of lovely goblets, so, supper was 'Barefoot' Cabernet and pistachio nuts.  Yum!

After this afternoon's Big Game, we're slated to enjoy an early supper at Lone Star Steakhouse, and tomorrow's a massage -- my favorite thing in the whole wide world!!!

Monday?  (more)Wine and dessert at Cheesecake Factory ... my own definition of the Magic Kingdom.   (In case you suspect I love to eat more so than your average bear, you'd be right.)

I've not looked at our wedding pix in like, forever ... but in between cracking open shells last night, it seemed like an OK thing to do. 

There's been many a time, looking at these leaves me feeling melancholy for what was -- even a little annoyed -- but those thoughts are best left for another time.   Would you like to peek?

 Psst, Troy ... who invited all these awful people?

That precious State Farm commercial wasn't around back then, but this picture makes me imagine Chloe saying to Kayla, "Your Grandpa just kissed my Grandma."

'da clan!

Tom's probably thinking, "bring on those Colorado Bulldogs!"
Yes, that IS a slide leading down to the restaurant!
Hard to believe my little maid of honor, Sarah, is 21 now and engaged to be married herself!

Thanks for accompanying me on this stroll down memory lane. 

Have yourselves a delicious weekend, and (I don't know why I'm compelled to say so), please watch out for the other guy!

Hugs from Phoenix!
