* IT'S OUR ANNIVERSARY! *

Today is our wedding anniversary ... our 39th.

What? How can that be possible? 

It seems like 20 years ago, 

and yet in reality it's almost twice as long as that!

Ron bought me red roses, which was a wonderful surprise! 

He's certainly gotten me flowers before, 

roses, carnations, etc. but it still was a surprise.

My eye surgery was this past Monday, Feb 7th. 

It took longer than the first one on my other eye

a few years ago, but that was explained to me up front.

I go back Monday, Feb 14th for my post-op check up.

My vision is still a little "off" which was also explained. 

My eye is supposed to "relax" soon 

and my vision to be back to normal. 

I certainly hope I'll be able to see well enough

 to go back to my part-time job sometime soon. 

I'm getting a bit bored. 😀

* Nostalgic Sundays *

It's Time for Another Nostalgic Sunday....Already??

Today I had a difficult time coming up with something for Nostalgic Sunday. Actually, that's not quite true. I had an idea, but after rummaging around four or five boxes of photos, and still not finding THE ONE photo I was looking for, it was time for Plan B.

This is what The Ronald gave me for my birthday this year. He's been down and out with some kind of cold or flu, but still managed to go to a store and bought the lovely basket of fresh flowers. (Carnations are one of my favorites because they last so long.) 

And then, his sense of humor shines brightly with the cake mix box (He didn't feel well enough to  make it...don't know why he didn't just buy one while he was out!) And of course, the numbered candles on top really made me laugh, because that's not how old I am this year, which he knew...but he said we didn't have a "9" in the cabinets! (another thought of why not buy one?!)  ☺But, I was thrilled with his thoughtfulness!

Flash Back quite a few birthdays. This was during my contact lenses and perms phase. That is my baby boy, Mark, and myself on my 35th Birthday! Awwww... Very happy times!

Back to the year 2012 and reality! Oh, how I used to love to tease my mom about her flabby under-arms. Shame on me, but how was I to know I would have the same affliction someday?!
