twenty-eight years and many of them happy!

image circa 1981

how awesome is that picture?! we don't still look like that. but yesterday, march 18th, marked the date of our 28th anniversary. wedding anniversary, that is. bilbo and i. together for 28 years. and if you add the three years we were together before we got hitched, well, that's a looooong time!

but i still love the dude and, amazingly, he still loves me! we celebrated by dining out at olive garden, or as i like to call it- "the garden of eatin' ". oh it was soooo good! here was our menu:

we were served a glass of reisling 

then the stuffed mushrooms came along

then salad and bread

then our entrees were served- seafood portofino for my honey

 and ravioli de portobello for me

 OH, it was so good!!!! we were very full at this point, even though we had both managed to save half of our entrees for lunch today. we wanted something sweet (and who wouldn't?!), so we decided on coffee and this

 well, actually, you get three of these, your choice. they were quite yummy too. so we rolled home and undid our pants and agreed that was a great way to celebrate ALL our many years together. let's hope there are many more, cuz i can't wait for all those dinners!!!

very grateful for:
1. my ole hubby
2. good health
3. many reasons to be happy
