How we spent our anniversary day.

Harv and I celebrated our 37th anniversary yesterday. The years have flown by and although our marriage, like most, has had its ups and downs, I've never once wished to be anywhere else than with Harv. He's funny, kind, incredibly generous, hard working and faithful; he has a strong sense of responsibilty and an unshakeable trust in God. Plus he's a great husband, father and Grandpa and is my best friend.

How did we spend this momentous day? We got up early in the morning and drove to Seattle to our oldest son's place to pick up a car.

2 weeks ago while on our motorcycle trip, we had stopped in a tiny Oregon town for breakfast when Harv spied a grassy lot filled with old cars. Being Harv, he had to go and take a look. When he finally came to join us, he'd bought one of those old cars. It is a 1947 Frazer - something he had only ever seen in a book. Because it was so unique and the price was right, he decided to buy it. He put a downpayment on it and arranged to come back and pick it up the following week.




















We did that last week (more on that trip in a later post) however, the car needed to stay in the States for another 72 hours while customs processed the paperwork. So yesterday we picked it up and brought it home. Harv is hugely proud of it - it's in great shape - almost no rust and even the upholstery isn't in too bad a shape. It could be a fun car to drive around in - it was touted as having the most roomy interior at that time. Or he may turn around and sell it again. Only time will tell.


So yesterday we went to bring it home and at the same time got the bonus of seeing our kids and grandkids for an hour or two. Dulci is very near her due date so we will probably be making another trip down there soon!


When we got back home, I got busy making a special dinner for the two of us. I set the dining room table with candles, crystal and fine china, turned down the lights and put soft music on.
We had a great meal: appetizers, Greek Salad, Carmelized onion and Potato flan, Saute'ed red cabbage and apples and Harv put a couple of tenderloin on the BBQ. With a bottle of red wine and Creme Caramel for dessert it beat a restaurant meal and it was a wonderful evening with just the two of us.
