Today is the day

Well, to my husband I say HAPPY ANNIVERSARY. When I posted last night my husband was fast asleep so I had not officially wished him the traditional "Happy Anniversary". Today we are not actually going to do anything. This is the first year in 40 years of marriage that we have not had any money (and I do mean no money) to purchase each other a present for our special day. This has kind of been a bummer for me. We have returned from the Nation of Haiti as missionaries and we literally put everything we had into that move. Many factors came up that it was not a safe thing for us to remain in the country. So for us to come back to the States with absolutely nothing to our name was a very hard thing to do. We have no vehicle, no furniture, nothing really that we had spent 40 years of marriage accumulating. But, we do have each other and that is really all that matters in the end. I am really trying hard to not get down in the dumps. But, sometimes having a pity party is just where you end up. But we are going to have a good dinner. We are having a big pork roast, mashed potatoes, carrots, green beans, macaroni and cheese and sweet tea this evening. I will do the meat, potatoes and mac and cheese. I do not do veggies, I have never and will never in my life I am sure eat veggies. My dad tried my entire childhood to make me eat them and I would not. I am healthy as a horse on meat, potatoes and other starch type foods and at my age why should I change anything. The old saying goes for me if it ain't broke then don't fix it. I don't think I am broke but those that live with me might have a different opinion.
