Instead
of full on work, work, work followed by sleep and then up and at it again, we
are now into part time doing what we've always done and making a point to have a
date night at least once a week. The other night my husband and I drove to a
local beach and stopped at a health food store and then a late dinner with a
side of cold beer at Appelbee's. What fun!
Interestingly a friend of ours was helping the cashier bag our groceries and my husband, the meticulous man that he is was searching for his wallet to prove that he was indeed 70 and qualified for the senior discount. Our friend the "sassy" Cutie who was helping with the bagging said: "You don't need to look at his id, just look at him". Fortunately me and my husband have a great sense of humor and we took it as silly fun. If she had said that to me, a few years younger than my husband, chances are I would have been offended. It was a wonderful moment to laugh and I am forever impressed how easily things roll right off my mate!
Next after emptying the organics into the cooler in the trunk we pointed for Jetty park.
The two of us hand in handed headed right for the jetty and as we walked the jetty, I snuggled up to my husband. We were in step and snuggling. Two white haired people enjoying a stroll in the twilight. This woman run up behind us and said: "I just took a video of you two. If you give me your email, I'll send it to you. You are the cutest couple. How long have you been in love?" My husband replied: "25 years!" Ha! I thought we have only been married for 16 but I didn't correct him. This is my new thing....I just let him be.
Well the nice lady showed us the video, me in my faded blue jeans and him in his elastic waste band pants both of us wearing old shirts, me a tank and him an old white short sleeved. I took one look at the video and I couldn't help myself. I said, "Geeeeeeeezzzzzzzz that looks like two old gay guys walking on the jetty"!
Well she never got my email and that's okay as I saw enough!
Next stop was Applebee's. Our new thing is we split one beer to be festive and gay. Well the waiter brought two mugs as this was a two for one night. Don enjoyed shrimp and I enjoyed the ribs. We kept the laughter and the conversation going all the way home. We ended the night with a hug and promise to stop at Publix's tomorrow for some Kefir! There is something to be said about the comfort of growing old together.
