Anniversary

Hub and I celebrated our 33rd anniversary yesterday. It was a beautiful day just as it was back in 1974 when we married.

Hub planned the day. First, the morning at the zoo. It was crowded with people of all ages, and the animals were playful. The aviary was fully of gorgeous feathered friends. Lunch at the Chakula Cafe allowed us to watch the giraffes and elephants, wildebeests and emus. After we left the zoo, we shopped all afternoon. While at the mall, I treated hub to a 10 minute chair massage. The masseuse really worked him over, and he was sore afterwards! oops!

Adfter eating an early dinner at Clear Springs Seafood Restaurant (delicious), we were stuffed! We had a couple of hours to kill before movie time, so we stopped at Gander Mountain for hub to shop some more. He found a gun safe of the type and size he'd been searching for.

Had to stand in line for 30 minutes at the Jacksonville movie theater. Everyone was there to see "ShrekIII". Not us. Our movie was Nicholas Cage in "Next". It was pretty good, but parts of the story were recognizable strains of "Butterfly Effect", "National Treasure", and other Hollywood genres. Still, a great adventure thriller. Also starred Julianne Moore and Jessica Biel.

We had a great day and enjoyed spending the time together.

BLOW OUT!

On my way home from work last night, I was cruising at 70 mph and listening to the radio. Suddenly, I hear a "whump whump". I turned off the radio to listen again. There it was. I looked in my rear view mirror and saw smoke billowing out the back end of my car. "I better pull over," I thought. As I slowed down to pull over, the steering became very hard to control. "Oh my, I wonder what's wrong?"

I park at the side of the road, get out of my car, walk around to the back. OHMYGOSH! The tire is completely burnt off the rim! It is hanging there, lopsided, while the rim of the tire is sunk into the soft dirt. What do I do?

Call my knight in shining armor who arrived in 10 minutes riding his charcoal gray Ford Ranger. Within 30 minutes he had the tired removed, the spare on (which was low on air), we'd crept slowly to the nearest gas station and got air,then drove slowly home on the little donut tire.

This morning, he took my car to the tire store where we'd purchased the tired in January, got the tired changed out, and I'm good to go to work today.

He's my hero!

Rain, Rain

Wow, it's been raining all day! I love it because our flowerbeds and lawns need the moisture. It's a nice change from sameness. Thank you, God, for rain.
