Today is the 44th anniversary of the day Studly Doright and I said our vows in front of friends and family members at a small Baptist church in Dumas, Texas.
I’ve had his gift for several weeks and will give it to him tonight. This morning, though, I was curious as to what the prescribed gift for the 44th anniversary might be. Maybe, I thought, I’d pick up something that fit the bill in addition to what I’d already bought.
Imagine my surprise when I realized I’ve been celebrating our 44th anniversary nearly every day since we said “I do!”

I should start saving up for next year right now, though. Probably can’t get a sapphire at the Publix store on N. Monroe, either.
Peace, people!

Omg lol. 🙂
Happy Anniversary!

I know! Another list said that the 44rd (sic) was electronics. The 44rd made me laugh and I decided it couldn’t possibly be a credible source.

I guess practicality overrides romance after 44 years. No!!!

Happy Anniversary you two! Sapphire is my birthstone so Studley can shop with Frank next year. My birthday isn’t that far into the future. Gets some fun groceries -special foods for the love birds. Stuff you don’t usually buy. Enjoy y’all! 💜
