Today is my 28th wedding anniversary.
Our wedding anniversary, I should say.
Nelson Mandela served twenty-seven years and he got a Nobel Peace Prize. Me? I got an extra year, a card, and the most loving husband on the planet.
If you don’t believe me, ask my recent escapee, Janet.
Janet of Janet’s Notebook came to visit this week, for five days, with her son, Ben. They wore me out but we had a great time. You will be reading about our adventures over the next week or so, when I’ve recovered, but if you can’t wait until then, here are some of her posts about our time together:
Granny Liu: On accents
Who is that dog walker?: On dogs
The north south divide: On the phone
Laughter and love: On being soppy
I know how much you love me so don’t think she’s having fun at my expense (she is, but not maliciously), though I have to admit, it’s a weird sensation to be the butt instead of the butter of the joke.
However, I had great fun learning about another blogger and her quirks. And of my own. Janet made me wonder how the Hub has put up with me all of these years.
Now for the next twenty-eight. Gulp.
Love you, my darling. But please don’t tell anyone, it ruins my image.
Happy anniversary xx
Congrats, TB; you got us by 6. My Beloved Sandra nad I will celebrate #22 later this year.
Photos show that you used to be a real hottie. Clearly, some things never change.
Re all these bloggers going to visit other blogeers: A very cool thought. Don’t be surprised if I show up on your doorstep.

Not sure how you managed 28 years but from my point of view, I managed by letting most things you say go in one ear and out the other.

And may you have many more. I’ve been married almost double that number, Tilly, which translates as “we are really getting old.” And when you love someone and have the added blessing of a good marriage, each year is special. So many of my friends have not had the same privilege. So congratulations to you both and a special blessing to you as you move into the future together. And I’ll also look forward to hearing more about your friend and the visit. I’m sure it was a hoot! 😉
