On Being the Slow One

Oh, everyone thinks Mr. Lee is so wonderful.
What you may not know is that he is quick witted
and mean spirited.

He says:  What day is it?
Sleepy headed me: Let's see Friday, was September 11th.
Today is the 13th, happy anniversary happy anniversary.
It's okay you've gotten a few times in the last 18 years.
He says: You are mean.
I say: I'm not mean.
He causally gets up and hands me my phone.
He had texted me hours ago:  Shhhhh.  Happy Anniversary.
He's mean.
I told him don't look at me or talk to me for at least 10 minutes.

Dispite all his flaws.  He is really handy and
cooks all kinds of tasty treats. He was good
to my mother, loves my family, and all the
kids.

I drag home all the handmade workshop
stuff I can find. And he, makes it better. 

 80s tired:

2015 Fabulous:

Yeah, I will keep him and try to remember
the 13th of each month before he does.

Happy 18 years and 4 months of dating
bliss, Mr. Lee. 

Caracol

Caracol is the Portuguese word for snail.
It sounds pretty; like moco Spanish for snot.

That's not where I was headed, any who.

We should learn from the snail:
It has devised a home that is both 
exquisite and functional.

A whole DATE day

Feeling abundant is primarily about accepting your circumstances with gratitude.

Last Saturday, Lee and I had an all day date through the early hours of dawn.
We were up at 4:30 a.m. (the kids always know when it is Saturday)
and got back in around 1:30 a.m.

The Vintage Marketplace.

I wanted this rack..next time maybe.

The Urban Barn.

This sink stole my heart.

A stroll through Ikea.

A concert at Observatory.....X.

A perfect day with my sweetheart.

Friday the 13th

As any regular readers of this blog knows,
Mr. Lee and I had our first date on a Friday the 13th. 
It was nearly 15 years ago
but the memory is still very vivid.  Meow, my darling. 
each and everyday.  Our monthly anniversary ritual is very special.

Rodj

My husband and I have been dating for eleven years and eleven months. We have celebrated each and every month since our first date. Our first date is almost more important then our wedding date.

And this is why I love him so much: Jacob is creating his elf garden with Daddy. Well, Daddy took the picture and provided support.

Celebrate each day with your precious loved ones. Hugs and kisses.
