Anniversary

Hello, Jack had a very lovely plant waiting for me on the table when I got home from work. He usually gets home from driving the school bus first. Turns on the lights, turns up the heat, sometimes puts water on for tea or hot chocolate, Jack gets the house ready for when I come through the door. He is most times sitting in his favorite chair by the "wood stove" reading his current favorite book. I get a "Hi, My Honey"...hug and kiss when I come in. Now, isn't that just the nicest way to come home! We discussed dinner tonight. The original plan to "go out" for our anniversary was quickly laid aside when we both realized the holiday schedule, work and general wintry conditions made staying home a much nicer option for our weary bones. So, Jack picked up the phone and ordered a pizza to be delivered. The young man came in no time, we tipped him heartily as the pizza was a whole lot cheaper than the meal out would have been. He was thrilled! "WOW! You folks are great!" We laughed (remembering our sons' pizza delivering experiences and how helpful good tips were) and thanked him for being so prompt with such a yummy delight. We have an excellent pizzeria in town - Rosario's - very yummy. It is not often that we order pizza, it is more a treat than going to a restaurant! We savored cheese and mushroom and Italian sausage on the perfect crust. Left over soda, still fizzy mind you, from Sunday topped our meal off. Tomorrow we can have left over pizza! How many years? 17. Good number. 17. Used to be a magazine named 17, don't know if it is around any more. One less than 18. For some reason Jack is looking forward to 18. I like 17 just fine. It is where we are now. OK, so there you have it, our anniversary night. No philosophising or catchy thoughts. A good ole, plain ole Happy Anniversary night that has fit the bill and satisfied well. It is 9pm and I will be retiring to the warmth of flannel sheets in a flannel nightie. Thanks so much for stopping by. Lord bless you and yours. Grace and Peace Grammie Betimes
