My favorite part was the dessert -- chocolate souffle with strawberries.<br /><br />We had a candlelight dinner in our dining room. I was in my nightgown sitting on a "donut" and our baby daughter was in her infant chair on the table. <br /><br />All three of us celebrated her birth together. <br /><br />lidiahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02465764786056030423noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22055731.post-36659825292799299902013-08-18T19:03:05.526+01:002013-08-18T19:03:05.526+01:00Hi Mary!

Orchids are my fave flower ever and always remind me of our wedding day - they were everywhere - just stunning. Funny you should mention bath tubs, Dante fills one for Eva too but thinking about it, I'm not sure about my dh. Think I'll give him a nudge on that - lol.<br /><br />Thanks so much for posting, Kaelee. <br /><br />VictoriaAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22055731.post-48022146403623885552013-08-18T08:50:05.863+01:002013-08-18T08:50:05.863+01:00Wishing you a very Happy Anniversary Victoria!!
O...Wishing you a very Happy Anniversary Victoria!!<br /><br />One moment comes to mind. When my son was born the three of us were all lying huddled together on the hospital bed. The Mister gave me a small blue card with the words 'Thank You' written on it. It was such a perfect moment in every way.Mary Prestonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02201076939557413255noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22055731.post-54196123831482568802013-08-17T23:17:34.480+01:002013-08-17T23:17:34.480+01:00cook a mealcook a mealbn100noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22055731.post-50224160178815600372013-08-17T21:39:54.733+01:002013-08-17T21:39:54.733+01:00Happy Anniversary Victoria.
I've been marrie...Happy Anniversary Victoria. <br /><br />I've been married for 45 years and there have been a lot of romantic moments over the years. I love getting flowers and lately my husband has been buying me orchid plants. I love getting greeted with a hot cup of coffee in the morning because I'm a night owl and he is an early bird. I love how he fills the bathtub for me. I could name more. <br /><br />However I think the most romantic thing has got to be how he gives me a kiss and a cuddle after my hot temper gets loose. It's not always him that's the cause of the boil over but he always makes me feel better and loved.

It suited them so well, I thought. I hope you love Eva and Dante just as much :)<br /><br />Now, that twinkle. I could not agree more, Laney! Going back to Dante, it was the little things that he did for Eva that spoke the most to me. The way he remembered exactly how she looked or exactly what she said at one point in time years ago. That speaks volumes, don't you think? <br /><br />And lol - I absolutely loved your day out too! Had to laugh at all the necking ;) Great! That beautiful day will stay with you always and I wish you both many more to come.<br /><br />Victoria Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22055731.post-4708928606184505812013-08-17T18:50:11.953+01:002013-08-17T18:50:11.953+01:00Good evening Eli!

My hubby and I share a serious love of fast-cars and racing and it's great to get excited about the same things and think up excuses to get to various Grand Prix. Kind of like... "Maybe Ben (our son) would like Monaco?" "Yeah, of course he would, great idea" ;) <br /><br />Thanks so much for popping over, Julie and I wish you many more fantasy filled years together.<br /><br />VictoriaAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22055731.post-32847286353429824112013-08-17T18:47:47.847+01:002013-08-17T18:47:47.847+01:00Hi Michelle!

To me, THAT is romance.<br />Upon further reflection, when trying to answer your question with something he DID, my first thought was our 30th wedding anniversary two years ago. We left on a Monday around 10 am, drove to a city an hour away (while holding hands whenever possible), took a ferry to an island (where I read my book while he roamed the hot deck - which I can't do due to medication not reacting well with the direct sunlight), drove slowly around the island, necked like teenagers alongside the road when no traffic, had a lovely lunch in a "new to us" restaurant, ate my homemade brownies and/or cookies, necked some more, read more on the ferry back, toured the city, ate supper in a favourite restaurant, took another ferry towards home, read some more of course, ate ice cream cones in a nearby town, and got home by 9 pm. It was a LOVELY day!<br />BTW, I read your first book and loved it! I kept wondering how I was going to get my HEA when the end of the book was coming up fast, but you did it! And well! I enjoyed the conversations, and I liked "watching" everyone's layers being peeled away. Am looking forward to reading lots of your books now!Laney4https://www.blogger.com/profile/06990122242183752771noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22055731.post-32070489345837618302013-08-17T15:34:29.101+01:002013-08-17T15:34:29.101+01:00Got a rose and chocolate from partner and I always...Got a rose and chocolate from partner and I always dream of it :) Eli Yantihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06207823134263812836noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22055731.post-5084951213331237712013-08-17T15:31:40.561+01:002013-08-17T15:31:40.561+01:00Happy anniversary!

You and your dh make such a lovely couple.<br />As you know I loved A Reputation to Uphold -- such a great story.<br />I'm looking forward to the next one and of course Presents is written in your writing DNA.

That started my love of fantasy novels which is an interest we're still sharing nearly 30 years later.JulieMhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14152567177048853996noreply@blogger.com
