Yesteray was our anniversary so my husband surprised me with roses, dinner in the city and a diamond bracelet. April Fools!!
It really was our anniversary and we're going to a mineral springs this weekend,
but last night we watched double feature DVDs at home and ate shrimp salad, one bread roll and champagne. It's so romantic to lose weight together. Our movie selection was Toy Story II followed by The African Queen. Both great love stories. There's Woody and Boo and Humphrey and Katherine. First we were youths in love (and there were always a lot of toys around because I brought two toddlers to the marriage) and now we're "old girl" and "dear". Though Bogart was 52, and Hepburn 45 when the film was made, so they were still spring chickens compared to us. We were exhausted after the movies - it's so hard pulling the boat through the African everglades or whatever they were. Highly symbolic of the struggle of marriage, and also the rewards - you get to blow up a German ship - wait a minute, let me rethink this part.
So when we are in the pool this weekend, bobbing up and down like corks in a bucket, we can fantasize we're Bogie and Hep and ignore the extra poundage and age. That's what fantasies are for.
