Our Anniversary...not in Mexico!!!

Saturday....July 15th....was our 28 th anniversary...boy has time past quickly. I was married 16 years the first marriage and 28 years this time...so that is 44 years of being married. Whoah...that's a long time.
Anyway, I tried to plan a last minute trip to Mexico and it didn't work out...darn....I could have been on a beautiful beach.....we did have a good weekend. We went shopping and got a new blender...for our diet Smoothes that are wonderful. (The recipe is on Connee's Healthy Life Style.) Then we went to see a movie...You, Me, & Depree (It's renter!), then we went to my favorite restaurant (J. Alexander's) and had Filet Mignon...it was wonderful, the best salad with great honey croissants, the loaded baked potato, and the very, very best Key Lime Pie. Then we came home and read our books a little and then took a nap before the fireworks at the festival. We got up at about 8:30pm and went down to the park, met our kids and grandkids, and watched the fireworks. I took some pictures and will try to post them here.


Sunday we went to another movie RV (another renter!) and then Mike said he wanted to take me to a Mexican Restaurant...kind of like going to Mexico...I told him it didn't even compare! I had a taco salad and he had a great big plate, actually two, of food. Then I went to Old Navy (bought a few things for me) and bought my daughter Jewel some shorts she has been wanting but she hasn't had time to get to Toledo. She was so happy! Then we came home and worked on cleaning the garage. Wow, 95 degrees and we are working in the garage...we must be crazy! We need to get the new car in and the garage is full. We decided to just work on one section....still have three more to go. 28 years can make you have a lot of junk (actually I have lived in this house for 38 years)....especially for a saver like me! I don't like to get rid of anything! Mike would throw everything away! That makes cleaning the garage together hard. I'm thinking... save it or put it in a garage sale....he's thinking get rid of it now!
