It’s Our Anniversary!

Thirty One Happy Years.

DSCF0394

Yes we are going out together this evening – Bob’s chairing the Church Meeting! I wouldn’t have it any other way either – it may sound corny, but being with him through the ‘ordinary’ bits of life is far more important to me than eating expensive meals in fancy restaurants [and we shared one of those with the whole family last Saturday anyway]

There are lists of appropriate ‘anniversary gifts’ for each year – both the ‘traditional’ and ‘modern’ [see here] Apparently for 31 years the gifts should be timepieces. Next year is conveyances [if he thinks he’s getting a new motorbike…] and bizarrely after 44 years, you get groceries. Who makes up this rubbish?

Next Easter we will have a cumulative score of 75 years of preaching. Wonder if there’s a designated gift for that anniversary? [new cushions for the pews, perhaps!]

Here’s to the next 31 years with my gorgeous bloke!

  2. CONGRATULATIONS

    Hmm, 75 years of preaching, eh?

    A new Bible because yours is/are worn out through so much use

    Some throat sweets because that's one heck of a lot of speaking

    A medal for perserverance

    The right to say 'oi you wake up' to the 75 yr old who confuses 'sermon slot' with 'nap time'

    A well deserved pat on the back and those words about good and faithful servants

  9. Woo hoo! What a ride you've had. It's because you've been so aware of Someone bigger than yourselves that you've managed such a lovely relationship, I think.
