Our Special Day

November 8, 1980:
Happy Anniversary Sweetheart! Remember when we just started out in our married life? Full of such promise ... yet living on a shoestring budget. You have always made me feel safe and protected. Never once have I doubted that the Lord would provide us a home through your hard work...Thank you for sharing the memory making process we have both lived through. We're not quite ready for the rocking chairs ... but just in case you want to sit a spell, let's meet on the porch after dinner to try them out. You bring the hot cocoa, and I'll bring a few quilts. Our love for each other will take the chill right out of the night time air.

All my love,

Babydoll

"A happy anniversary
A happy anniversary
Each Day of the year
May you find Jesus near
A happy anniversary
A happy anniversary
And the Best year you ever had"!

That was me singing that old chorus from waaaaay back. We used to sing in it in church in the old days when we recognized such important events. Though no longer sung - the words still ring true.
Wishing you the best year you ever had...Happy anniversary to Babydoll and Mr. Mac!

Happy Anniversary! What a lovely photograph! Lovely place for a dinner, too! By the way, may I ask, what does HOA stand for?

Hi MM, Happy 28! Isn't marriage wonderful! Especially when it starts getting in the bigger numbers.

Hi Crown of Beauty ... I made my way to your blog and enjoyed a little visit. HOA means Home Owners Association ... our neighborhood's governing board of directors.

Mr. Jim ... we ate out at a nice place (steak and Alaskan king crab legs ... yummo) ... since the eatery was near Mr. Mac's new employment, I had him show me where he works.
