Today My Love Comes Home!
For the last 10 days My Love has been traveling in eastern Iowa. She first visited my sister, Diane's home for four days to help in the preparation for the graduation of Diane's last daughter, Megan. Together they prepared potato salad, broccoli-cauliflower salad, watermelon-cantaloupe salad and lots of other delectables (like chicken lip dip) for the party that was held last Saturday evening.
Then My Love went to Cedar Rapids for a day to visit a friend. According to her report, they had a wonderful time reconnecting.
Her last stop these past four days has been to visit a family in Cascade, Iowa, that has been like a second family to her for many years. She discovered that the father of the family had just died several hours before her arrival. So she has spent these days helping the family prepare for and celebrate the funeral.
Now today My Love is coming home. This coming Sunday will be our 13th Wedding Anniversary. Believe it or not, this past week and a half is the first time that we have been apart for more than one night since we have been married. Hence my excitement on her return. While we have spoken with each other at least once each day, and most days twice, there is nothing like "love with skin on"!
Truly our anniversary will be a celebration: of love and gratitude.
