Happy 7th Day of March. 38 years ago Steve and I were preparing for the commitment of a life time… Yep… Marriage… Today is our Anniversary and I cannot believe that it has been 38 years already. There is A LOT of life that has been jammed into these past years. Just like the kids, we blinked and BLAM here we are. I want to do a shout out to Roxie Potter. We both picked a perfect Day to be married, didn’t we? Roxie dropped a book off called YOUR DAY March 7th, it is pretty cool to see all the different events, quotes, music and people that are tied to March 7th. Roxie, I pray that you are feeling the good feels of memories of your wedding and life well lived. It is an honor to carry on the Anniversary Date. THANK YOU for your kindness. A Happy Anniversary shout out to Steve today, I’d like to say lets go for another 38 years but I think we are on the downhill side of life, and realistically it will be a good goal to strive for!!! May we be celebrating 76 years together in another 38 years! Today is also National Cereal Day! I gotta say that I am super bummed that I can no longer find my most favorite cereal anymore ANYWHERE!!! Quaker Oatmeal Squares, the one that has the brown sugar in the middle.. Oh my goodness I have been searching High and Low and close and afar with no luck.. I am boycotting this today and partaking in National Flapjack Day instead…. AND last but not least, today is National Employee Appreciation Day. I am so grateful for our ROCKSTAR STAFF. I can’t even begin to express how much each one of our staff’s unique talents make us flow. We are a very small staff but pretty doggone mighty. They even let Steve and I off today and I am going to appreciate them even more on Saturday when we get back and the building is still intact!!!
