A good anniversary day

DH got the canopy picked up. He said he and the guy easily moved it onto dh's truck in like 5 minutes. Then they spent and half hour chatting, LOL. DH always orders flowers delivered to me on our anniversary. One carnation for each year. The lady who runs the little flower/gift shop in town usually delivers them herself and usually fairly early in the day. Well, it was like 4:40pm and still no flowers. He was about to call and make sure they didn't forget, but then see's her car pull up out at our gate, but it stops. Then his phone rings and it's her grandson delivering, making sure he was pulling into the right place.

Now, part of this story goes back to our last anniversary and flower delivery. DH is out in the shop and sees her pulling in (I'm upstairs oblivious) and texts me "special delivery outside". We had ordered our new Explorer ST and dd/sil had picked it up to store at their house until winter was over. Pulling in my driveway is the exact ST we ordered. I was confused for a few seconds....did he end up having them bring our new car over already? But, out pops the flower lady with my anniversary flowers. She had just days before bought this ST at the dealer in the city! We told her we were getting one, etc. 

Ok, so back to yesterday - OMG - what a total cutie he was! 17 years old and before he even hung up the phone with dh, as he's pulling in the gate he saying "my grandma let me drive her ST I love this ST and she said you have an ST and I want to see your ST". He gets out, hands me my flowers and of course immediately him and dh start talking ST's, so we take him in the garage to see ours. He was adorable. This total mop of curly brown hair and a smile as wide as can be. He takes us back to his grandma's car to show the captains seats she has in back and turns the key on and says "see, of course I have it in sport mode, LOL. I can't believe she lets me drive this. She really shouldn't let me drive this!" 

We did go out to dinner. Quiet night at that restaurant in the middle of January and on a Thursday night. There were a few people in the bar area, but we were the only ones in the dining area. I had the fish and chips with a salad and dh had the prime rib. I guess the sleigh ride isn't happening. He had found out about them the evening we went and watched the tree lighting in town and talked to them then, then he called them about setting it up and they never called back. 

I started watching the new (remake?) That 90's Show on Netflix. It's actually not too bad. I figured it might be a disappointment from the original, but it's having quite a few guest appearances by the originals and of course Red and Kitty are a constant and the same LOL. 

I have the worst time trying to view Petsmart or Petco online to order stuff. The websites freeze up, or I get blank screens. Now I'm just trying to find something to add for a few dollars so I get the free shipping and the descriptions are coming up but no pictures of the items. It's taking me longer to get 3 things ordered than driving 50 miles to the dang store! Well, this is ridiculous. I'm still trying to just order a small cat toy that's cheap. I finally switched over to using a different browser and find this cat toy mouse and of course, it's not available for shipping. And now I'm so confused. It says free shipping over $49 and my order is over $49 but it's charging me $4.95 for shipping. I have WAY too much time into trying to order cat litter and cat food!

  1. That was a cute story about the flower delivery guy. I read it to Tommy and he laughed hard. He rarely laughs at things. Too bad about the sleigh ride. Happy Anniversary! Maybe he has the sleigh ride planned for later.

    1. thanks! I'm not too worried about the sleigh ride. Other than sometimes going out to dinner, we don't typically make too big of deal about our anniversary.
