Good sich

My love and I celebrated 32 years of marriage yesterday. When we discovered that the restaurant we wanted to go to had recently closed down, our daughter decided to bring the dining experience to us, by acting as our own personal chef. She came over the night before to prep everything, and then last night we weren't allowed near the kitchen until dinner was served, and it was delicious and perfect. My pictures don't begin to do it justice. Our girl even printed out a menu ahead of time. And as she poured the wine for us, she said, "I wanted to do this for you. You are such good parents. It didn't have to go as well as it did for us. Growing up, I saw quite a few cases where it didn't go that well. But we have a good sich"—I gather "sich" is short for situation. Her lovely words nestled themselves in my heart.





Happy anniversary my love. Thank you for sharing this wonderful rollercoaster ride with me, for holding me down always, and being the man you are. Here's to the next 32!

    1. Barbara, she made it like fine dining, pouring our wine with each course, and then champagne for dessert. It was perfect indeed.
