Better Together

"Chains do not hold a marriage together.
It is threads, hundreds of tiny threads
which sew people together through the years. "
Simone Signoret

The piece above is a work in progress. Many threads, many beads, and time. Like a marriage.

I am thankful for all the many threads, that bind our 42 years together.  Through thick and thin, sunshine, and rain, joy and sorrow, our love is a tapestry, woven by God the Great Creator, the Author of Love.

Here is a happy little love song called

Better Together.

 

***

For our celebration dinner this is what I am planning.  I am working, so the crockpot will cook the main course, which will be stuffed steak rolls. I will fix mashed potatoes and beets when I get home, and we’ll have wine too.  For dessert we’ll have cherry crisp with a dollop of vanilla ice cream.  To start the celebration we will have Margaritas.

***

May we all grow in love and graciousness with each new day that we are blessed with.

Happy Anniversary, Flower Lady. You are so right about all the tiny, colorful, sometimes fragile threads that old a marriage together.

Enjoy your evening and each other. The heart project is very, very pretty. (I didn't take the time to listen to the song, but hope to return to it later.)

So beautifully sewn, so beautifully written. Wishing you as much happiness, joy, and peace possible. It doesn't seem possible another year has come and gone. Enjoy your lovely dinner and special day.

Congratulations!

The dinner sounds perfectly wonderful.

I loved the song. We have few years on you. We have been married 50 years, lots of threads in our marriage.

We are both lucky ladies.
