Forty-seven years ago on this night, not quite Valentine's Day, not quite a full moon... Omer and I decided to make a commitment to each other. (not quite so cold, either!)
Tonight it was still not quite Valentine's Day, and the moon (whatever it's doing) was totally obscured by a blizzard we're having. But we ate well! Thanks to Loretta, we had a gift card for Applebee's.
Back then, I could single-handedly eat an entire large pizza from Pizza King in Hartford City. Tonight, I chose to bring half my salad home so I'd be able to eat the entre.
But I did eat all of that. I had their new lemon chicken with quinoa and apple. It was really yummy.
Somehow, I don't think we'll still be here in another 47 years, but hey, I've been wrong before.

I hope you're here another 47 years. I certainly plan on being here then, though that's just my own plan whether reality cooperates or not.
ReplyDeleteI love hearing about couples who've managed to stay together through thick and thin. I just read about another couple celebrating a 39th anniversary.
ReplyDeleteYour meal looks really good.
Congratulations! May you have as many more as you want.
ReplyDeleteSylvia and I have come to appreciate quinoa. We usually have ours with vegetables.
ReplyDeleteCongrats on 47 years of togetherness. Many happy returns of the day.
47 years.
ReplyDeleteSuch a long memory.
And you remembered.
It couldn't happen to a nicer couple, Joan. For however long remains to you, I wish you joy and happiness. You are amazing folks.
