And The Anniversary Presents Keep Coming!

This year we talked of the many things we could do to celebrate our fortieth year of marriage.  A trip to Hawaii, Alaska, France, maybe, a party down south for our family to attend for a weekend, possibly, things we have been meaning to do for years, clear the dead trees, make a really huge outdoor natural gazebo with fire pit to enjoy year round, build the front porch we always wanted, a garage?  Buy each other a ruby ring for the 40th year?

So Sweetheart said, "Whatever you want we'll do."

The children are far away having their own adventures and we still like our country home.  So I decided I'd really like to get the land cleared and the year round fire pit gazebo built so we can sit outside in the snow and cook on the fire.  Sweetheart said, "We should go somewhere even if only for a week, maybe see the California sequoias we always meant to see when we lived out West but did not?"

Sweetheart loves farm work, he grew up on a farm. He bought a new chainsaw 3.6 hp and the trees are coming down every day.  We walk the driveway, sit out back and he has a cup of his homemade coffee and I have a Isagenix protein shake, yummy!  The woods are so peaceful and the mountains always capture my attention.  He cuts up the downed trees and we put them to the side, sweep and walk. Walk and talk, a little bit every day we will have a lot done in the next 3 weeks.

Life is simple, free, easy, this is an anniversary that keeps on giving all year long.  I like it !
Thankful to have each other...thinking of renovating a three seater outhouse nearby...
