I mowed the grass this morning
later on he went outside and cut some lumber for a kitchen project
while I slopped some paint remover stuff on a painted timber
and removed about half of it
Later in the day we took the trailer and went to Home
Depot to pick up some wallboard and plywood.
For our anniversary supper he had the last of the tunafish salad
with chips (we threw caution to the wind) and olives. I had
an orange.
No one appeared to scare the bejebus out of us with HAPPY ANNIVERSARY,
and no one invited us to a cookout, a surprise party, or a seekrit celebration.
It was a lovely day, and we may just do it again next year.

Sounds just lovely to me. I love lowkey observances. whispers,happy you know what..
ReplyDeleteIt was. If it had been any more lowkey we'd have been into negative numbers. He did ask if I wanted to go out to eat; I said, on a Friday night? In July?
ReplyDeletewhispers back thank you.
Hope you're feeling better. Flu's no fun any time of the year, but in the summer you can't even snuggle down into big fluffy blankets...
best. party. EVER. i won't ruin it by wishing you silly things.
ReplyDeleteSilly is good. It's over now, we have descended from the euphoria, and gotten back to normal. Or whatever passes for normal.
DeleteToday I get to finish stripping the paint, and will probably be allowed to help him cut the wallboard we bought yesterday. (He's so GOOD to me)
Can't complain, this is part of a long held fantasy of mine to get rid of the (no longer used) cast iron kitchen sink in that corner and make a built in woodbox in that spot. And a counter above it, for the stand mixer and bread making events...
On our 50th anniversary, I said happy anniversary dear, and she said Happy anniversary to me. The rest of the day was just like any other day. That was the way both of us wanted it to be. She never showed up for our 51st
ReplyDeletethat's the way it was here. any more low key and we'd have been passing notes under the table.
DeleteIm sorry she never made it for the next one, but dang, you got fifty good years. Cold comfort, but still...
We just "celebrated" one too. You'd hardly know it.
ReplyDeleteBut I'm concerned: That big, loud ,flashy & very expensive gift I sent you didn't arrive? It was supposed to be delivered by a chorus and a dance troupe.
No? Hmmm. I'll try again next year.
(Happy anniversary, btw)
ReplyDeleteNope, no chorus, and I think the dance troupe ended up further down the road, you could hear them whooping it up for half the night. I WONDERED what that was all about...
