Festivities - Any
time we get together it is exciting. We
were extra excited that our 13th family member made his appearance in time for a family
portrait. ( kids surprised us with the photo shoot) But while Tanner's parents were preoccupied with
him, they were missing from the other plans.
But we had as much fun as we could.
We do not usually exchange gifts on our anniversary, though
I have always felt like it was the husband’s privilege to give as many gifts and cards as he wanted.
I have tried to be frugal and started recycling cards long ago. Anniversary, Father’s Day; you can say the same thing every year if you find a good one. And I have. Actually my favorite anniversary card has been “Rhet Butler and Scarlet O’Hara” on the front. I don’t remember what it said inside, but I’m sure Darrell doesn’t either because I gave that one to him several years ( snatched it before he could toss it and I filed it for the next year )
Well, my skills have weakened and I could not find it. I couldn’t find any ABC anniversary cards. Thankfully I had an appropriate blank card. Just put a simple greeting inside. It wasn’t until I had sealed the envelope that I realized I had put 40th ! ( maybe I can use a little white out next year )
