An Anniversary

17 years.

Neither one of us has hair like that anymore. I like to think of myself like a fine wine; and hubby is like aged cheese. Ha-ha!

I received flowers at my office today. Didn't have my camera with me; a friend took pictures but hasn't sent them to me yet.

Let's just say the bouquet was WAY too big to carry home so those flowers are still at school.

Weekend has begun here. No special plans. Hope you are having a great day in your corner of the world. Best wishes and blessings, Tammy

    Hello Tammy....I think you and your hubs are the best aged wine and cheese I've seen in awhile. My dearest congratulations to you both on your anniversary.

    Staying married is commendable, in this day and age of living together, divorce, etc. I think it's wonderful you two have forged a life together. So happy for you both.

    Have a peaceful, super weekend. Take care. Susan

    Warm congratulations from me! The photo in the frame is gorgeous! It´s great fun to see photos from the 80´s and 90´s and I often think "Did I really look like that!?" :)

    I hope you will receive my little package soon...
    Have a great weekend!

    ♥ Happy Anniversary! ♥ Lovely time of the year to be married. Today is our eldest daughter's birthday as well.

    I have always thought it was sweet having flowers delivered to the office. :) Hope the two of you have a lovely evening together, and that your weekend is great too!

    One more day until our weekend, and I'm looking forward to it. The last football game and band competition of the season.

    Blessings always,

    Dearest Tammy,

    Happy 17th anniversary to you and Sam!
    Aging like wine and cheese is a good thing! More wisdom, more mellowed and a lot more open to the world around us.
    Love to you and good health as that is the most important gift!

    There is a saying. It goes like this: "God doesn't give you the people you want - he gives you the people you need. To help you, to hurt you, to leave you, to love you and to make you the person you were meant to be."
    You were given the best man to make your life richer, fulfilled and meaningful!

    Happy Anniversary! I'm sure you could write a book about your adventures in living in a new land these years! I enjoyed your post on the tea and scones. My hubby brought a lot of the rooiboos (sorry , wrong spelling) tea back from Cape Town where he had it at every breakfast. I don't believe it has caffeine in it which is a plus for him. Have a good weekend!
