It's A Miracle:)

Darling Man not only remembered our anniversary, he actually made reservations. At a restaurant. On purpose.

You must understand that DM does NOT do "reservations." Back when we had two incomes, no mortgage, no car payments and no children, DM flew me to London for my birthday.

Lovely flight.

Lovely scene at Heathrow when I ask him what hotelwe are in and DM replies, "I don't know - I guess we should find one."

Now, darlings....Yours Truly has FRIENDS in London and FAMILY and stared at DM thinking to herself, "Well at least we won't be sleeping in the Tubes..."

DM then anounces that I Should Not Worry, because How Hard Can It Be To Find a Hotel Room in London At the Last Minute?

Gee, sweetie, I don't know........what are the odds of finding an affordable hotel room in the TOURIST CAPITAL OF THE EMPIRE AND A WORLD CITY AT THE LAST MINUTE IN THE MIDDLE OF THE SPRING?!?!

DM looked upon YT as though I were insane.

Now, England being a very civilized country, there exists in Heathrow a kiosk entitled "Tourist Help," wherein a very nice and deeply amused girl found us a hotel room. for about 80 pounds, which Ike that was a sweet deal until I reminded him that at then-current rate of exchange that worked out to $150 per night.

We spent one night there and then *I* found us a better deal in Earl's Court, which is cooler than Mayfair and also much hipper.


Fast forward a million years to last February 14 - we spent TWO HOURS driving around Casselberry because Dm didn't think reservations would be necessary.

For Valentine's Day.

In a tourit town.

So, We were VERY happy with him over the Anniversary as it proves that, despite recent evidence to the contrary, He Can Be Taught!

YAAY!!!

Hugs,
Alysoun
