Hi ho, MMMLogerinos!

It's true! Twenty-nine years ago MMMMM took the plunge and married that tall, handsome aircraft mechanic who was finishing his bachelor's degree.

The DH Googled gift suggestions for the twenty-ninth anniversary and found that it was new furniture. Since we've already done that, we took ourselves to the Melting Pot in Bellevue for a "Big Night Out" dinner--cheese fondue, Lobster "extravaganza" and a burning turtle chocolate dessert fondue. The dinner took about two and half hours. The DH even bought his bride a lovely red rose and we had our picture taken.

As I consider last night's photo next to our wedding picture, I have to smile. Those two kids are in there somewhere under the layers of time the older couple displays on their rounder faces and bodies. You can see that she's still a smartass who loves to play and he's long-suffering and still missing the bear cub fun gene. But they're a winning pair who has hung in there for twenty-nine years of living togetherness, rarely hell and most times ordinary married life.

Ciao, ciao, MMMMMmmmmmmelinda
