Just A Lazy Saturday

There is nothing at all interesting going on--unless you count that it is our 17th wedding anniverary and we are having guests for dinner, a couple that we work with, Curtis and KJ. I am cooking a delicious smelling pork sirloin roast with garlic stuffed in it, some broccoli, potatoes, and a tangy side dish of cooked cherries and peaches with a bit of ginger.

I cleaned the house (yeah, small house, it took about an hour), also cleaned out the refrigerator, and took the blankets off the bed finally. It doesn't get hot for very long here, only for about a month out of the year, but when it does, those blankets got to go!

Tomorrow, while FabGrandpa does laundry, I'll be going through the pantry and making a grocery shopping list for when we are in Flagstaff on Monday and Tuesday. I have that appointment with the musculo-skeltal specialist to see if they can figure out what is wrong with my arm.

I hope we have time to go to the arboretum while we're there. The last time we went, at the end of October, all the plants were dying for the winter. I hear they are all in full bloom now, so it should be good for some wonderful photo opportunities. I am also planning to go to Piccazo's Pizza for a tasty gluten free pizza, mmmmm, can't wait for that! OH, and I am going to look for a new bowl. I am having a hard time doing without the one that got broke Every time I start to cook something, I reach for it where it is supposed to be, and am disappointed again, every time.

Trick Or Treat?

Us on our wedding day, July 18, 1992

FabGrandpa moved in with me on Halloween in 1991. We were carrying a dresser up the front steps to the house when these little children came running up, holding out their bags and yelling "Trick or Treat?". FabGrandpa asked them if they wanted a pair of socks!

Life with him has not always been that fun, but it has been more fun than not. Today is our wedding anniversary. We have made it through 16 years of marriage, which for us is record breaking. Each of us has been married twice before, with none of those previous ones lasting more than 7 years. We had four children between us, and had three teenage girls living with us when our marriage began. It is a wonder he survived all that teen angst and PMS.

So, tonight we have reservations for dinner at the North Rim Lodge. After dinner we are going to drive up to Point Imperial to watch the sun set and the moon rise. What more could a girl want?
