Celebrations continued, kind of....

As he always does, Gerry woke me up Wednesday morning to say good-bye before leaving for work. He changed the routine up a tad however, by having the nerve to ask me a question- (come on now, he knows I need a solid 45 minutes of silence in which to wander around the house aimlessly before I'm capable of speech!) still, he asks me, "Do you know what day it is?" My groggy mind fumbles around and then it hits me, it's our anniversary. Year 26 to be exact.

Somewhere around year 12 or 15 we stopped exchanging presents, around year 18 or 20 we were still exchanging cards and having a dinner out, but in the last couple of years the card and dinner thing have kind of crept out the door. We seem to be busier now than ever and happier. Truth is, I've never been much for this whole official celebration thing -be it birthday, wedding or whathaveyou. Does it tell you something about me that Halloween is my favorite holiday --no gifts- just cool decorations and candy!!! and costumes!!!!! I have way more Halloween decorations than I do Christmas ones.)

So share with me, how you "do" special event days - major extravaganza or barely notice?
