Thank you ...


It says something about J and I that both of our grown children thought of some form of food as a gift for our anniversary. Big Ed took us to dinner at the Roadhouse and we pigged out on steak, appetizers, baked potatoes ... It was a lovely evening. Not having to cook is always a thoughtful gift. Good food, not cooked by us, is even better!

The following weekend, we received a visit from M and a recovering Zeta who, thoughtfully, had not wanted to be near us while she had a horrible cold. She and M brought a beautiful gift basket filled with our favorite things: Russell Stover chocolates (sugar free), Starbucks coffee, Flora pasta sauce and three kinds of Dreamfields pasta. We were astounded at the appearance of the Flora which we had been looking for with no success. M found it, they said. What a mission that must have been.

I would claim that we unwrapped the basket so as to photograph it, but that's not exactly true. We wanted to get to the good stuff.

Thank you Big Ed, Zeta, and M, for a lovely remembrance.

Your very welcomed. Hopefully, next year I will be cold free during your anniversary.

Big Ed said...

I'm glad you liked it. So, no big bash next year, how about a parade instead. We will think of somethin big next year, but no bash.

A parade like the one we used to have on July 4th that started in front of the Deckers house. No bash. Just a parade. I like it.

Hmmm - S. and S. used to be in that parade in their strollers. Wheels decorated with paper 4th of July plates and balloons flying in red, white and blue. Well, a wheelchair parade could work. Yes, it could. I'd come down by train to see that!
