This project is so much more vibrant in person that in this picture.  I can see the end of the tunnel as I only have 8 more pages to do. Just to put this in perspective each page except for 7, 14, 21, 28 and 35 has 3780 stitches.  Pages 7, 14, 21, 28 and 35 have 1820 stitches.  That is a heck of a lot of stitches.

29 Years Ago Today

My sweet Bob and I got married. 

Today he went out to buy some potting soil and came home with



Here is what the card says inside.  I actually cried when I read it.

I could never thank you enough
for everything you do
and for all the ways
you're such a wonderful wife.
But on our anniversary,
I want you to know
how much I appreciate you
and that I love you
with all my heart.

We have spent the last week trying to clean out his Aunt's apartment.  It has been such a big job.  We still have to donate her car and go through all the boxes we brought home.  Today we spent the day cleaning a large piece of furniture we brought home and re-arranging our family room to make it fit.  We still don't have it completely back together but we are well on our way.  We are both so tired we don't know witch end is up.

We are on our way out to dinner for our anniversary.  Hope the food is good at Woodside Inn.  We use to go there once in a while but they closed because the building was structurally unsound.  It has since been repaired and re-opened. 

I love my wonderful husband and I am so glad he feels the same way about me.
