“Come to my heart and bring it to rest As the bird flies home to its welcome nest”*

Earlier this week the OM made some grumbling reference to our upcoming anniversary (38!) and whether I wanted “to do anything.” I suppose if I had said–yes, let’s get dressed up and paint the town! Please make a reservation for two at Tony’s (or some other extremely expensive restaurant)–he would have grumbled and done so. However, he knows me well enough after all these years to know I would never say that. It is a school night, after all.
So, anyway, we will probably kick back tonight and watch a Jean-Claude Van Damme movie to celebrate his birthday (b. 1960) today. Maybe the OM will pick up dinner at Chick-fil-a on the way home.
“The Puritan ethic of marriage was first to look not for a partner whom you do love passionately at this moment but rather for one whom you can love steadily as your best friend for life, then to proceed with God’s help to do just that.”

Meanwhile the wee babes came over last night and we watched Mary Poppins (1964)–they were mesmerized. [Don’t worry: we didn’t let them stand that close the whole time!] They love music and singing and Mary Poppins is one great song after another!
Three hours with the wee babes is exhausting but also the most fun of the week!
