Weekly Musings of the 23rd

 

Isn't that the truth?  Just like that Friday is here again and we are galloping to the end of the first month of the year.   This week was our 37th anniversary of our life together.  We stayed home this day as it was cold and snowy as it actually was our first night together.  I made the same meal this day as I did back then of lasagna and then coconut cream pie, both of hubby's favourite.  Yes, he fell in love with me but I think my cooking kinda sealed the deal - LOL.  

He arrived the night of the 20th with all he had in the back seat of his car and quietly asked me, "Can I stay with you?"  And I threw open the door and helped him bring in what little he had and we have been together ever since.  We have lived in four apartments together.  That first night was on Riverside Drive at the corner of Bank Street.  Our second was the Island Park Towers at the corner of Island Park and the Parkway.  Our last one in Ottawa was in the upstairs apartment at his mother's on Rochester Street and now we are in Simcoe on Cedar Street.  So many things have come and gone as hubby and I have gotten older together.  Sometimes we might miss those days when we were younger and perhaps would appreciate them all the more now knowing that age does take over the body.  You can help it by taking good care of it but still it will age and there are things that happen that no matter how good the care is, there is change.  

This picture was taken the summer of our first year together.  We went to Quebec City together.  

Lots of reminiscing this week as I kept telling myself that it has been 37 years.  I couldn't believe that so many years have past so fast.  

Today the sun is shining but it is cold out there and this week has been quiet as we only went out as we really needed with the snow squalls that had been happening day after day it was just an good idea to stay and putter at home. 

Before this was on Pinterest my hubby said it to me, really and truly.

 

 Have a wonderful weekend!
