Friday the 13th

Up late last night, writing and coming through on a months-old promise of photos to a sweet friend.

Reset alarm, later, later. Finally staggered out of bed at 6am to kiss Tom before he hit the road.

"Happy Anniversary!" he tells me.

My sleepy brain scrambles for the meaning behind his words. Through the fog, it hits me… Today must be a Friday the 13th, just like the day we got married almost 30 years ago.

And he remembered.

That's just one reason I love him.

It was a beautiful Friday the 13th for me. I hope it was for you, too!

    One of my favorite parts of a new year is to count how many Friday the 13th’s will happen. It’s my favorite number. There are three this year so 4 anniversaries for you.

    It's the favorite number of my whole family, I think! We had intended to get married on the 14th but there was a mistake at the church and we had to have it on the 13th. I'm so glad we did! I look forward to all of the anniversaries, even though we don't exchange presents. I'll actually have 5, because we celebrate the day we met, too! Whoo-hoo 2012!

    Belated Happy Annniversary congratulations to you both! My goodness, what a date to tie the knot on, just goes to show what a lot of nonsense this bad-luck superstition is, eh?
    What a lovely sky you have up here.
