Throwback to April 11, 2016

1. When he asked me to stop talking about our children, I stopped talking about our children. Until the next day.

2. For every visit I planned to a botanical garden or a historic home or an art gallery, I included a visit to a car or plane or train museum.

3. I tried to be interested at every car or plane or train museum, I really did.

4. We toured a brewery.

5. I chose bed and breakfast inns in a variety of styles (such as Victorian and Craftsman and beach house) to spare Husband from a lace-and-doiley overload.

6. I assured Husband that even though the B and B decors inspired me, I would not be re-modeling our home. Or at least not until the kids were done with college.

7. We took turns choosing our shared appetizers and desserts.

8. We took turns being the designated driver.

9. Better still–a few times I selected B and Bs close to downtown, so that we could walk to supper and not worry about the driving.

10. When the tipsy yet sweet retired couple sitting next to us at the bar started slow dancing and playing kissy-face right in front of us, I controlled my impulse to nudge Husband in the ribs and say something like, “See that? That had better be us in 15 years!”
