Hurray, we’re home from another marvelous visit to Lancaster County, PA! Not until I began writing about the Amish did my husband and I celebrate our autumn anniversary in glorious Lancaster County. Can you think of a better place for me to do research on the Amish and the location? My husband enjoys chauffeuring me at a leisurely pace—even when I yell “Stop!” so I can take a photo. Over the years, we’ve grown close to many folks in Lancaster County, both Amish and English, not to mention relatives we’ve come to know better.
In the past, my husband and I have each forgotten our anniversary. When I overlooked the auspicious date, my spouse thought I was joking. I mean, how many wives forget their anniversary? However, the very next year my husband—a man with a remarkable memory who can be quite annoying when playing Trivial Pursuit —forgot our anniversary. Of course, I let him. We’re even, thus no hard feelings.
No forgetting now that we travel across country to Pennsylvania! We even decided not to exchange cards or gifts. One less must-do, but he occasionally randomly brings me flowers.
Recently, an English friend told me a fun and true story about herself. She and her high school sweetie got married, but soon divorced. Both remarried, but their next spouses died. Years later, the lonely man told his children the only woman he’d want to date was his first wife, my friend. They encouraged him to locate her. Fast forward: the two love-birds retied the knot last year and are ecstatic. How cool is that? I should ask her which anniversary they celebrate.
Can you think of anniversaries that have nothing to do with marriage?
Do you celebrate a unique or quirky accomplishment? For an author, it might be the first day his or her article or book was published, or was a top-10 finalist, or won an award. One year ago, my husband self-published his first book. Happy anniversary, to him!
How about the day you or a friend were pronounced cancer free? The day you or he/she gained sobriety? The day you opened a business or graduated from a class? I remember the morning a woman I’d known most of my life, called me, her voice ringing with jubilation, to tell me the last of her three children was officially in school. Although, I suppose this could make some mothers sad. How about you? What gives you cause to celebrate?

I seriously love your blog.. Excellent colors & theme.
Did you build this web site yourself? Please reply back as I’m looking to create my own site and would
like to learn where you got this from or exactly what the theme is named.
Many thanks!
I was curious if you ever thought of changing the layout of your site?
Its very well written; I love what youve got to say. But maybe
you could a little more in the way of content so people could connect with it
better. Youve got an awful lot of text for only having 1
or 2 pictures. Maybe you could space it out better?
My programmer is trying to persuade me to move to .net from PHP.
I have always disliked the idea because of the expenses. But he’s tryiong none the less.
I’ve been using WordPress on various websites for about a year
and am worried about switching to another platform.
I have heard fantastic things about blogengine.net. Is there a way I
can transfer all my wordpress content into it? Any kind of help would be really appreciated!
Awesome site you have here but I was wondering if you knew of any message boards that cover
the same topics talked about in this article? I’d really love to be a part
of community where I can get feed-back from other experienced individuals that share the same interest.
If you have any recommendations, please let me know.
Thank you!

I am really impressed with your writing skills and
also with the layout on your blog. Is this a paid theme or did you modify it yourself?

Hi there would you mind sharing which blog platform you’re working with?
I’m looking to start my own blog in the near future but I’m having a tough time deciding
between BlogEngine/Wordpress/B2evolution and Drupal.
The reason I ask is because your design seems different then most blogs and I’m looking for something unique.
P.S Apologies for getting off-topic but I had to ask!
Hello just wanted to give you a quick heads up. The text in your article
seem to be running off the screen in Chrome. I’m not sure if this
is a formatting issue or something to do with browser compatibility but I figured I’d post to let you know.
The style and design look great though! Hope you get the issue fixed soon. Cheers
Por isto, com mais perfeição intervenção também é a antecipação.
