Ohmigosh! I almost missed this thread and boy would I have been sorry! Debbie, NOW who's the stinker, sweetie pie?????
Thanks so much, everybody! We had a really fabulous evening, thanks to my DH. Twenty years ago we got married at the Ritz-Carlton Buckhead in Atlanta, and DH surprised me last night with dinner at their main dining room (VERY hotsy-totsy, and not at all our usual anniversary Italian & A Movie kind of an evening!) Some friends of ours sent champagne to our table, and when we got ready to leave the maitre d' had a little package for us from the Chef -- autographed and dated menus and a beautiful little wrapped bundle of pastries for breakfast!!
Twenty years is quite a landmark, and I feel extremely fortunate to have my Kenny in my life. And our sons, which we consider to be our crowning achievment.
We came home around 10 last night and our boys were still up, studying for this week's semester exams. To our shock they had cards for us -- never in their lives have they done that on their own. Sweet, funny, cute cards from my sweet, funny, cute kids. They took a study break to play a game of pool and Kenny and I just kept beaming at them like idiots. Alex finally said "Uh, Mom and Dad, could you guys, like, stop GAZING at us? We're trying to play pool here and you're disrupting us." That brought us back to Earth With Teenagers really quickly!
Hugs and thanks again to my pal DebbieH and to all of you here for being such a fabulous addition to my own life, and for your best wishes.
Your Loyal Pal,
