This was especially true for embedded comment boxes like yours. It must have been a Blogger glitch.<br /><br />Happy belated anniversary. Sorry I missed it. I am so in awe that you threw yourself a party and treated yourself to beautiful flowers, vines, and chocolate. And you even had a few party animals join you. Again, sorry I was so late visiting.

NM...I don't need an excuse LOL. Ahhh....I so get the non-celebratory situation...I haven't had a proper holiday or special day in a long, long, time. At least I can imagine your husband having somewhat of an excuse at 86??? "Bookay" says it all...I need to tuck that in my memory banks...Very descriptive on several levels. ❤️ Yours turned out lovely...homemade ones are so much lovelier than others I think. And the manner in which you spent the day was probably better than any "expected" celebration ever could be. (By the way...that coralvine is gorgeous. I am not familiar with that.)

Happy Anniverary belated of course. Bob and I lucked out because we both feel the same about holidays and anniversarys. we don't care, which is great because we both don't care... the only thing we do or did before pandemic is eat out and that is because I HATE COOKING. i will use any excuse, holiday, illness, anniverary, birthday to claim a meal i did not cook. you did a great job celebrating your anniversary.

I smiled when you mentioned the chocolate-covered walnuts, as that's how I fee about Peanut M&M's. Love the chocolate coating, and glad we get the peanuts for protein hehehe. That photo of the coral vine sitting on the turquoise table is so charming. Those colors are a lovely contrast. Oh, I love carrot cake from the store too, and sometimes get it for a treat. Yaaay, you got some rain! Those are the prettiest fairy lights. I would love to have a few placed in my front yard. Your doggies are so precious. I'm glad you had such a wonderful Anniversary, and homemade treats are sometimes the best ones. : )<br /><br />~SheriRed Rose Alleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02685747099912989862noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4647919454370211644.post-43452069546181607422021-07-20T05:12:33.347-06:002021-07-20T05:12:33.347-06:00Happy Anniversary!!

I've never seen those, but I bet they were good along with your slice of carrot cake. My hubby isn't big into celebrating anniversaries either. I kind of blew it many years ago when he spent $$ on roses that I thought would have been better spent for a new dress or something else I needed. Somehow that got translated into no money spent at all...so it is what it is, and we still love each other and usually do try to go out to eat maybe for lunch or breakfast to celebrate. We've made it almost to 52 years (in August), so I guess whatever we're doing must work. I love your fairy lights. That looks so pretty! Are they solar activated? And a cozy little rain shower to cool things down a bit and give that golden glow afterwards...very nice. May the Lord bless you with many more happy days together.Pamela M.

Flowers and healthy walnuts ( I'm sure the chocolate was full of antioxidants). Even carrot cake ( which I love). Homemade fun is the best.
