19 years!
27th April 2009
This is a very special day to Johnny and I. Today we celebrated our 19th wedding anniversary. Being a Monday it was routine as usual with getting the kids off to school and general chores around the house. My “to do” list never get any shorter. The moment I cross one item off - at least two more are added. The morning passed without any eventful news and then mid morning Johnny arrived home to surprise me.
Our weed eater is finally working again after Johnny tried to start it according to the instructions. Never in my life have I seen such a lengthy start up. We have to turn the lever to 2, pull five times, turn the lever back to where it was and then pull the chain. It started. Now the strange part is that up until two weeks ago, Johnny was starting it with one pull of the chain? Strange, but none the less I am ecstatic that we do not need another one for awhile. Who says you’re too old to learn new things?
I finally worked out that my car can fit into the garage and is not too high as I anticipated. I guess it’s taken me awhile to get around to this part – it just wasn’t that important a few weeks ago and if it wasn’t for Johnny’s accurate eye, she would still be outside. It’s a tight squeeze but will suffice for the meantime. I’m glad that the girl is out of the elements at long last.
Going back to my anniversary meal, I decided to set a table and cook a home cooked meal. My table came out really nice. I made sosaties, chips and farm fresh eggs. Okay, I know that’s not too romantic but convenience is nice. I would have liked to had prawns and a fantastic desert but hey I settled for being at home with the rest of our family. We opened a bottle of bubbly and celebrated 19 years watching the sun go down. Ah, the good life.
