Hello all we had a lovely time. We arrived at our friends place and were quite surprised. Here several of our friends got together and chipped in to surprise us. They had been planning it for a month. There was roses, cake with a bride and groom topper, and a booklet of events in 1982! There was balloons and Happy Anniversary banners, along with gift cards for sticky buns at the local bakery, another gift card to a sandwich shop we like and $250 in mad money! We didn't expect any of this! It was very hot and humid on Friday and Saturday. It got cooler each day. Sunday we were able to have my best friend and his wife over. Monday on our anniversary we went out for a late breakfast and then a nice dinner. Dinner was excellent, but we ended up at a chain steak house that we could have went to at home. I was disappointed that it wasn't a little nicer of a place but it is off season at the shore and most of the finer restaurants were closed on Monday! Carolyn dessert was excellent and was this layered chocolate yummy with chocolate mousse, chocolate cake, chocolate crumb base, a chocolate fudge like filling, chocolate icing with chocolate curls on it, and vanilla ice cream with a chocolate drizzle all over ice cream and cake thing. I thought of you with every bite! When we got back to the house things went down hill! Ross took our dog out, Maggie crossed over in front if him he took a quick step not to step on her and hit uneven payment and went down. He has road rash on both knees, down his legs, top of one foot and big toe, and his elbow. He said he jarred himself so heard that he though t he collapsed lung at first. His back and ribs still hurt. Last night was the first he could lay down and sleep. He has been sleeping sitting up on the couch! He refused to go to the hospital, but now admits he is sure he should have. I said well you can still go! He refuses! He says, no need to that he is slowly getting better! Luckily at our friends place she is on the bay side on a channel. You walk right out her door onto the deck and the water is rght there. You can sit in the living room and see the water, so we just sat and enjoyed the water front, and played games! Important part we were together! It was very relaxing! Came home and WOW did the rest of the leaves pop out! I really wanted to spend the weekend working outside! It is pouring and we are in a cold snap!! Going to be below freezing at night!! I'm bummed because I really wanted to work on some outside things before I start the new meds. Outside is my happy place! FF
