A Kindness From a Friend for a Happy Anniversary!

Certainly can make you feel loved! Yesterday was DH and my wedding anniversary. We really hadn't planned on doing anything and were discussing whether I would cook dinner or we would go out when I received a text from my sweet friend Alice inviting us to come for dinner last evening at their house. How could we pass up a deal like that? It was a simple meal, she said. Spaghetti squash, salad and banana cream pie. Alice is an excellent cook so I knew it would be good (even though I am not a fan of bananas in cream or pudding!) 

On the way to their place, I decided we should stop and buy a bottle of wine, which we did, and when we arrived, discovered she had already opened a bottle of red. The table was set beautifully, candles were burning, and a floral arrangement for us. 

It was truly a wonderful evening and after having a couple of glasses of wine, I may have been a little giddy and when I went to fill up Alice's glass, I poured the wine right into her glass of water!!! And that banana cream pie was DELISH!!!

Sweet, precious friends!

Ah! The simple life!!!

Thirty-one years ago, on a beautiful October day, just such as the one this day, I went to work dressed in a new, green silk dress. After trying very hard all day to concentrate on my work, I finally was able to leave at 4:00 p.m. to meet my husband-to-be and his two children, Sara, age 10 and Jason age 7. We drove over to Cedar Hill, Texas where we would be joined together in matrimony. It was just the four of us for the simple ceremony performed by my former pastor in his study, with DH's kids to be witnesses.

Afterward, we four celebrated with a wonderful dinner at the top of Reunion Tower overlooking the bright lights of Dallas. We then went to the home of one of my very dearest friends who had prepared a wedding reception for us. It was a happy day!

Happy Anniversary to us!

It's still a happy day!
