Well, as of yesterday we made twenty five years of weeded bliss!  We celebrated with dinner out and then I went to dialysis.  I took a cake in to share with everyone at the center and Victor sat by the bed and we ate cake together.  The tech told us to use our imaginations.  We laughed and managed to behave ourselves.  So here is to us and another twenty-five!  :wine; :wine; :wine;
