Today was simply our day. We started out taking the lawn mower up to Dennis for service and the day picked up speed from there. Next we found ourselves at the Riverway Cafe for lunch. This is a very special place. The Riverway School in Sandwich is for high school students with disabilities. The Riverway Cafe is where they get their training for jobs and life after high school. I love going there and supporting the program. The students who wait on us, under the supervision of the best job coaches, are sweet and endearing. After lunch there, we visited the thrift shop also run by the school. Next we walked next door to find out about Sups. (tomorrow’s blog)
The day ended with a movie and dinner. The movie we saw was “Ted”. I didn’t think I’d like this movie because I usually don’t like animation and unrealistic characters. This was cleverly done and executed well. We laughed all the way through it. After the movie we tip toed across the parking lot to Tomatoes. We had pizza and wonderful homemade sangria. We are still sitting here reminiscing about our years of married life and enjoying that last drink.
I turned to my husband of 37 years and said, “Do you know how lucky we are to live here?”
He said, “Every time I turn the corner onto our street on Friday nights I feel that way.”
After 37 years, we have a lot to be thankful for. It’s the simple things around us that are the most important.
Ok, as much as I would love to hang around and philosophize some more, my husband just ordered the most decadent chocolate cheesecake you ever tasted and I’m all about digging into this happy ending.
And so, as another day goes by, life is just plain good – and mmm..I mean good, and …I have written.
