We will celebrate our 52nd wedding anniversary in June. As we age, our lives become more complicated – some things much more difficult – but we both feel we will never get enough.
He wants to get a Subway roast beef sandwich for lunch. I am making spaghetti for dinner with a pineapple upside down cake – his favorite – as his birthday cake.
Our son called him from Thailand this morning – the best of surprises. I’m am doing all I can to make this a very happy day for him.

I finished the mulching yesterday and got things cleaned up. My poor body is really protesting, so I’ll take it easy for a couple of days before doing anything more out there. It’s amazing to me that I can get a bit tired by the end of several sessions, but don’t actual ‘feel’ it until that evening or the next morning. I plan to do my elliptical trainer and a session of yoga today, to help stretch things out.
I sang to my husband this morning – hence the cute picture of the doggie above. (I wasn’t nearly as cute, and my husband looked pained that I was singing. My husband, who is still being a curmudgeon about becoming a year older, grinned from ear to ear when he saw what I was doing this morning. The pineapple upside-down cake is in the oven as I type. Hopefully, I can make him smile several times today.
I’m waiting to hear from our friends on whether we are going bowling tonight and then for ice cream or not.
Since I was so ‘good’ working in the yard the past two days, I’m going to reward myself with time in my art room this afternoon.
Birthday – Bowling – Art Room – Pineapple Upside-Down Cake – Not bad for a Monday!
