Chinese Rose Elections
Wednesday, November 7th, 2007 06:05 amSo, yesterday was Election Day, and also the anniversary of our wedding. While these two epic events normally have nothing much to do with each other, aside from far too often falling on the same day of the week, this year they were linked by a presence of Steve, who was naturally part of the anniversary festivities and had a place on the local ballot.
I came from home from work to a bouquet of white and red roses, then we went out into the rainy, blustery evening to do our civic duty. That complete, we drove in the lightening rain and dying bluster to the Great City of Augusta, there to renew our membership in Sam's Club. Yes, I know what you're thinking: How do they sustain this madcap lifestyle? Healthy livin', children. Healthy livin'
After we'd wandered around Sam's for a while, staring at the Christmas stuff, and rescuing a stuffed lion who had come unstitched and was losing his stuffing, we wandered back to Beautiful Winslow and partook of a leisurely meal at the Lucky Panda, thence to home.
Twenty-seven years is a long time. Seems like yesterday.
