We celebrate two anniversaries every year. This year is the 26th year that I’ve delivered a Limoges Box with poem that we call our “Limogesaversary.” However, I cut some corners this year with a Shamrock box from Bernardaud rather than the accredited Limoges sources. With most of my spending money going for medical expenses, I did the best I could. They are not really what we call “No-Moges” because they are still French made, but obviously less expensive than those bearing the “Paint Main” identification. The second box celebrates our 24th wedding anniversary – 2 for one. We’ll also be attending the Queen Nation concert the night of our actual date. Also see Post #2675 – St. Pat’s for the rest of the story. 

Anniversary Thoughts

Twenty-Four years,

And little to spare.

But a plate for spaghetti,

And a poem to share.

The box is not authentic,

But the message sincere.

“Happy Anniversary” dear,

Tho’ it’s been a tough year.

You’ve been very patient,

Loving and kind.

I’m not a good patient,

Whimpered and whined.

I’ve hobbled along,

Tired of the pain.

Done what I can,

On walker and cane.

You’ve slept at my bedside,

Worried and cried.

And when I’ve been lost,

You’ve been my guide.

These are favors,

I wish not to return.

I wish you good health,

Hope it’s never your turn.

We’ve traveled the world,

A home with a pool.

Living the dream,

“Miss Denise” teaching school.

A happy pup,

And her older sister.

Plus, my Cutie Pie lover,

Just wanna Kiss her.

Kids on both coasts,

Friends that come stay.

Wonderful neighbors,

Resort life to play.

Another year,

Has passed us by.

All we’ve been through,

I wonder WHY?

Next year foretells promise,

Let’s hope for the best.

Our love conquers all,

Positivity our quest.
