32nd Anniversary!!!!

I discovered hyacinths in Rolla, Missouri where I began first grade; they grew in profusion along my walk to school.

I planted them in our backyard in Albuquerque where, each year, they mark the arrival of Spring.

We chose this day to commemorate our marriage as it fell between our falling in love and joining of households. That, and the fact our foolishness keeps us smiling.

               

Supposedly an old Persian proverb, this was sent to her mother by a beau:

If of thy mortal goods thou art bereft,

And from thy slender store two

loaves alone to thee are left,

Sell one, and with the dole

Buy hyacinths to feed thy soul.

Und zoe, Vee haf a truh-DEESH-un!.
