Quiet Day



Today was Rob's birthday...



It was a beautiful, clear, crisp fall day....











This old heart shaped cutting board was given to me by Aunt Adele at my wedding shower...
... thirty five years ago...





We enjoyed a quiet day, Rob's birthday... just the two of us together...



There are advantages to having an empty nest...

    It just goes to show that the strongest hearts are those with a bit of wear and tear and TLC all mingled into one! Happy birthday to Rob then and enjoy the special time together on a perfect Autumn day ;-) Ange

    Beautiful. The heart shaped cutting board reminded me of one of my favorite wedding gifts...a rice cooker. 23 years later it's not as pretty as the chopping board but it's a little wonder.I love holding on to things...and people. What a romantic post. Trish
