Happy Anniversary, Baby!







Betcha By Golly Wow!




There's a spark of magic in your eyes


Candyland appears each time you smile


Never thought that fairy tales came true


But they come true when I'm near you


You're a genie in disguise


Full of wonder and surprise






And betcha by golly, wow


You're the one that I've been waiting for forever


And ever will my love for you keep growin' strong


Keep growin' strong






If I could I'd catch a falling star


To shine on you so I'll know where you are


Order rainbows in your favorite shade


To show I love you, thinking of you


Write your name across the sky


Anything you ask I'll try, `cause






Betcha by golly, wow


You're the one that I've been waiting for forever


And ever will my love for you keep growin' strong


Keep growin' strong






Betcha by golly, wow


You're the one that I've been waiting for forever


And ever will my love for you keep growin' strong


Keep growin' strong






Betcha by golly, wow


You're the one that I've been waiting for forever


And ever will my love for you

Actually,
our anniversary is January 1st....
but I plan to be busy tomorrow,
so this is my opportunity to
let you know how
fortunate I find myself.
 
As some of you know...
my sweetie and I are
"re-treads"
meaning...
we have tried this marriage thing
a time or two...
and well....finally God intervened
and we found each other.
It has been five years.
Doesn't sound like a lot...
but in 50-something years, it is a lifetime.
 
I have never been happier,
and find myself
excited when ever he comes home from being away...
giddy even..
blessed (I know)...
smiles.

I am ready to take it all down...after one more look....


The stockings are tired....


They are just a bit droopy...


The gifts have all been delivered...


And I have only one more
holiday event to host...
tonight.

My book club ladies are coming.
Coffee, regular and decaf...
Christmas cookies..
Fruitcake...smiles.
and
celery and carrots....
(bigger smiles)

I dont' know about you but I am so
sick of the "sugar highs" that
permeate the holidays.
My head can't take it anymore.

And as much as I love me some coffee...
I might just have decaf...
well..
not really...
but I thought about it.
smiles.
