Friday night 'The Husband God Gave Me' and I went out for dinner to celebrate our anniversary. Then, because we truly could not think of anything else that we wanted to do, we went to our favorite thrift store. I'm glad we did, as it provided me with great reading material for the rest of the weekend.
The Anniversary Celebration on Saturday was wonderful. The weather was great, cooler along the lake shore. Lilacs were still blooming there. THGGM and I were able to hit three major antique venues between Spring Lake and Holland. After stopping home for a nap and coffee (after all, this is our 27th anniversary) we went out again and hit one more closer to home. By evening I was rolling around in pain from what appears to be a pinched nerve in my back (send sympathy, please - or vicodin).
On Sunday fourteen of my family came to celebrate six birthday's, Mother's Day and Memorial Day. I mostly sat on the couch with a large green styrofoam apple applying pressure to the sore spot on my back.
Monday we went out to breakfast with Youngest Son, Daughter and Son-in-law. The rest of the day I spent lying on the green apple reading a book I bought on Friday. It's titled "Any Given Day - the life and times of Jessie Lee Brown Foveaux". A simple book written by an 80 year old woman about a not so simple life spanning the 20th century.
Other than the pain of the pinched nerve, this is the kind of weekend I like to have.
And the kind of marriage.
(thggm had a busier weekend. he painted. a lot.)

The vicodin will be there in twenty minutes. Okay, not really, but I am glad to hear about your lovely weekend! :)
Oh, you poor thing! I know how that feels -- and it is not a happy feeling. I'm gald that you had a wonderful anniversary though. :)
I'm glad for you that the pain held off until Saturday night and that you then had a green ball and a good book. These backs of ours can certainly cause problems.
Well, at least you had some fun before your back went out! That is good! Hope you get well very soon!!
