20th Anniversary

Well, Teapot and I are celebrating our 20th today. There have been some lovely anniversaries and there have been some really awful ones. Last year was an awful one. We planned a big party and then no one came. But there have been really lovely ones too. There was the year my mom and dad came to stay with us, (that was before children) and took us out for dinner at a hotel in Kenora, Ont. It was lovely with a beautiful view out over the Lake Of The Woods and it was lightly snowing. There was something magical about the crystal and china dinnerware and the snow swirling outside the wall to wall windows way up high in that tower restaurant.  Then there was the year that Teapot and I got a baby sitter (something we never did) and went out for dinner only to discover that no restaurants were open during the Christmas season except one take-out..... so we took take-out back to the church hall (because it was the only place we could think of to go, that wasn't home and I had the keys for it). We had dinner and then we played music on the CD player that the church owned, and we danced some lovely slow dances all around the hall. It actually stands out as one of the nicer anniversaries.

20 years gives you plenty to think about and in our case we are lucky to think mostly happy thoughts.
Happy Anniversary my dear, dear Teapot.
