No pre-dawn excursion this morning, but I'm making up the parameters of this blog as I go along.
I couldn't let this day go by without acknowledging a marital landmark. J and I were married on Aug. 20th, 1983. That means that as of today, right around this very moment of 3:15 in the afternoon, we have been married for 10,000 days. And, maybe with the exception of a few days along the way, we still look forward to seeing each other!
Thanks go to my dad, a numbers man, for setting a precedent of odd anniversaries. He and my mother passed their 20,000 day mark a couple of years ago. Not a bad run.

It's been nice, by the way, to see my back yard in new levels of daylight. I still like dawn best.
10,000 is a really big number...
ReplyDeleteLeave it to Obie! Good for him -- 10,000 IS a lot of days. I wonder how many I had my Papa with me -- March 29, 1952 until June 8, 2006. We had just celebrated our 54th anniversary -- we had both been so sure we would see many more than that, but 54 incredible happy years isn't bad.
ReplyDeleteLove reading your new blogs, Robin -- I didn't realize it would be another blog of YOURS -- yay. Please fix "Austrailia" -- it's driving me nuts! Fun to hear from Nadia -- and Sam in Hong Kong -- the world is suddenly so wonderfully small...
Keep writing! You're an inspiration ...
