Anticipation

I am anticipating many things coming up:

Great walking weather - Every day this week has been beautiful outside, and the rest of the week and weekend are forecasted to be the same. It is wonderful to have such fantastic weather when I take Jordan for walks in the neighborhood in the mornings and evenings, and when Spouse & I go for after dinner walks down to the bay or on the boardwalk.

Friends visiting - Bugsy & Roger are coming Fri night and will stay through the holiday Mon. We really like them a lot and always have a great time together.

Our 11th anniversary - Sat will be mine & Spouse's 11th anniversary. We choose to celebrate the date we met as our anniversary, as opposed to the date we began living together. Uncharacteristically romantic, Spouse says he knew the night we met that I was the one for him.

First beach day of the season - Although we go to the beach several times a week for walks, this coming weekend we'll have our first actual day on the beach, complete with beach chairs, beach towels, suntan lotion, bottles of water, and sunglasses.

First time playing bingo - Sat night Bugs, Rog, Spouse & I are going to play bingo, a first for us, at the convention center in Rehoboth. Prizes include gift certificates and cash. Proceeds go to benefit CAMP Rehoboth and AIDS Delaware.

First cookout of the season - In honor of Memorial Day (and because we love grilled food) we're going to have our first cookout of the season this weekend. I can hardly wait to smell and taste those burgers, hot dogs, potato salad, Fritos and onion dip!

Spouse's family function - Next Fri (June 1) Spouse's mother, sister, brother, and sister-in-law will arrive around noon, see our house for the 1st time, have lunch with us, and then we'll all ride together in our Suburban to Philadelphia for his aunt and uncle's 50th wedding anniversary celebration (Mass followed by a catered dinner/reception). We'll come back late Fri night, they'll stay overnight, we'll have breakfast Sat morning, and they'll leave in the afternoon.

I'm looking forward to lots of fun and good times coming soon!
