December 1, 2010 (9th Anniversary)

Oh my gosh--the beginning of a new month already!  Mamaw was barely out of bed when Poppy handed her a card--with them dancin on the front of the card. Now--that made her day!  When she read the card, Poppy said "happily married for 8 years.  Mamaw reminded him it was NINE and they both laughed.  She is so sentimental...and Poppy is smart enough to know that. 

Then the doorbell rang and HOLY COW--more roses! Yep, it's their 9th anniversary...(smile) They are gorgeous AGAIN!  She thinks he almost walks on water...go figure.

And then Poppy is off to work with his lunch.  Around noon here he came with a runny nose!  Oh Poppy...you've got a cold!  So, it's their anniversary--Poppy has a cold and Mamaw has "the scoots."  Bad timing...I might even be temped to say, "It's been a shitty day around here."

But Mamaw doesn't like to give up.  (I did talk her into a little nap the middle of the afternoon) but other than that, she's been clickin, clickin, clickin on the computer keyboard.  I asked her what she's doin and she says, "Miss Scarlett--I want to get some things done around here and there just isn't enough time to do it all."  RELAX MAMAW--there'll be another day and if not--WHO CARES?
