41st Anniversary

How can I possibly describe 41 years of BLISS! Actually Sunday is our anniversary but since it's Super Bowl day, we wanted our own special day. Under normal circumstances we would be at the beach to celebrate but we just had a toast with a bottle of Cabernet that I've been saving for a special occasion and this is it. We wanted to thank everyone for all their prayers and good wishes. We appreciate every one. Andy had a break from school and was able to visit Tues. evening. He did all the little jobs I save for him( being the handiest in the family- which we credit to Elmer(Norm's dad) - we know for sure it didn't come from my side!!!) and Pete ,Tracy and the girls will be up this evening for dinner. 41 years is a time for reflection - in every relationship there is good, bad and indifferent - but I felt it was always -US- we were a unit- certainly agreeing on the major issues of the day and philosophy. Our problems were more mundane- the car- how to LOAD the DISHWASHER- how to get from A to B. Our solution was a absolute division of labor. We each had our areas of expertise ... more on this later.
