Parr8hed Posted July 21, 2021 Share #1 Posted July 21, 2021 My anniversary just kinda snuck up on me. (I am sure my wife has forgotten as well) It's tomorrow. 21 years. We will be pulling the camper to TN. We will be there with the kids and 3 other families. Today I work 5-2:45. Home by 3:15 and then take the daughter to hitting lessons from 4-5, then practice from 6 to 8:30. So, not a lot of free time today to shop. So what can I pick up quickly for her? Just something to say "I remembered". Some flowers to put in the camper, some chocolate, maybe a bottle of wine? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Razors Edge ★ Posted July 21, 2021 Share #2 Posted July 21, 2021 A hug, kiss, , and a card with heartfelt words. 21 years, while a long time, is not one of the "big" ones. Prep for 25 now! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tell her you will make her life easier by training the dog to get beers instead of her always getting them. Cleaning stuff goes over well, too.

Neither, gauging the width of a bathroom mirror at the store and lifted her arms up to see if it was big enough. I leaned in to look while she lifted her arms up and she cracked me in the back of the head with her watch. After 3 previous concussions in the past 5 years, all due to impacts to the back of the head it doesn’t take much anymore… 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
