 |  Celebrating our 35th!!
This weekend we've been celebrating our 35th anniversary!! 
Friday night I took her out to dinner at Red Lobster, where we both had appetizers and brought home a meal or two each from that. Then on to a production of "The Christmas Carol" at the university. Our theater arts department is world-class. They stayed very close to Dicken's original, with the addition of 20 Christmas carols that were popular in Dicken's time. It was absolutely marvelous! We went out last night, too, and today we had some pictures taken for our Christmas letter.
The 35th is the Coral anniversary, so I bought her a Navajo silver butterfly brooch with several small coral stones. She has family background in that part of the country, so she loved it when she finally got to see it. That was last night when I gave her a corsage made of 4 small white roses with the butterfly brooch in the center. She wore that to church today and had a lot of Oooohhhh's and Aaaahhhh's from the ladies, one of whom was my conspirator in making the corsage, as she works at the florist's.
So Peanut is happy, and I'm feeling pretty pleased that I was able to pull it off perfectly as planned.
Here are some pics. The one of her was taken June 2008. The one of me was September 2006, and one of both of us outside was May 2006. The two of us inside were taken a few hours ago. She couldn't believe it when I pulled up the old ones of her. Life is so much better now!!! She's down 80 pounds since March 3rd this year when she had her surgery.
Life is good!!

Why perfesser are you a romantic at heart? Peanut is a lucky lady. Putting the brooch into the corsage was brilliant! The pictures of you both are telling. Not only do I see folks who have made significant weight loss progress, I see folks who are comfortable in their own skins and with each other. HAPPY ANNIVERSARY!!!

Back in the '60s, no one was doing that, and if you happened to be attending a Catholic school at the same time ... well, my life got real complicated!! I decided from this experience that I'd only do it once and make it last, or I wouldn't do it at all.
So far, so good! They say the first 30 years are the hardest!!
