I have a friend who is celebrating her 40th
wedding anniversary. She and her husband
are so still in love. It is so
heartwarming to see in this day of short unstable relationships. I asked her once what the secret was, she
replied flowers and dancing! Happy
Anniversary, mates.
So today I am imaging them dancing in their kitchen,
he with flowers in his mouth, and the key to her heart is there for his taking!
I am not sure that dancing would have been the key to my
happiness, as I have two maybe four left feet.
But flowers and laughter would have opened my heart. What would open yours?
It is my birthday today and the nicest thing of all
was some lovely calls from far, far away and the arrival of a wonderful
cookbook on baking that I won from the Online Magazine “Sweet Living”. (I will blog about it on my cooking blog
later on) but check it out if you are interested in crafty stuff and cooking, it has links
to some amazing blogs.

First of all, HAPPY BIRTHDAY!! Beautiful painting, and love the story behind it - 40 years is a loooong time, glad they are still so happy. I will have to think about the key(s) to my heart! Have a great day, Valerie

ReplyDeleteA truly lovely painting, and somehow it gives that happy feeling of a Chagall painting. What still works for us after 56 years? Laughter most certainly and shared interests. Painting so lovely I have scrolled back a few times to look again.

Beautiful journal page. I love that it was inspired by a happy marriage. Happy Birthday!
ReplyDeleteHappy Birthday dear lady!! Hope it's wonderful. Dancing would have won me over...my ex had two left feet. Now it wouldn't matter though. Laughter is always important to me!! I love love love your couple dancing. My parents lasted a long time with dancing under their belt and they danced in the kitchen too!! No flowers were involved though...just love!! Enjoy your day! Wishing a life full of creative bliss!!
