Happy Anniversary!

You know us, and you know Laura and I often have an unusual approach to things. Today was right in line with that.

Today (October 21) is our 19th Wedding Anniversary. As Bernie's HP job was eliminated last month, we're watching our budget very closely in this economy. Instead of taking a getaway (boy, would a vacation be nice!) or going out for a fancy-ish dinner, we decided to put our own spin on things.

We figured, what better way to celebrate than to have a quiet dinner at home - our soon-to-be-renewed home! Instead of going out, we took pizza, a good bottle of wine and a camping lantern, plates and chairs over to the remodel just before dusk. We set up our picnic table cloth on the worktable that the crew had conveniently left right in the dining room. And we had ourselves a lovely time, enjoying the twilight in the great room.

It would have been even better if Bernie had remembered to bring glasses for the wine.

Hey you two!!! Happy Anniversary. And no, I really don't think the experience would have been enhanced with glasses for the wine. You took it to its primal elements...just you two and the large empty shell that will soon house you once more. Ah, good times, good times!

Congratulations on 19 years of marital bliss. You're both still kids at heart! Hugs from the Albany Fan Club...Jen, Kris and Griffin (and Uncle Quinn...who is all shaved and looks like a dork!)
