The Day Winds Down And We Put It to Bed
Beth and I went back to the Graffiti Grill tonight and had a lovely meal. It was a candlelit dinner with exquisite food plus wine and a delicious dessert. The conversation flowed as well. We are enjoying our ninth Valentines Day together and hope to enjoy many more as we travel through life together. We discussed our upcoming vacation and I’m pretty excited about it. Spring in Washington DC offers many opportunities to take photos. But there are deeper purposes as well. For Beth has ties through her godmother to someone who works in the Library of Congress and is a holocaust survivor. He would like to show us around and I am very eager to meet him. The high points of my employment with the VA involved interviewing WW2 prisoners of war. These are men who somehow had the courage and strength to survive things I cannot imagine. It was an honor to meet them and it will be an honor to meet this man. I told Beth that at least twice per week I think about the holocaust and we need to go to the museum when we are up there as well.
We are also going to spend some time at Virginia Beach. There are things to do there in winter besides relax and look out the window.
So it has been a wonderful day and I cannot express how wonderful it is to be married to such an intelligent and caring person as my wife. She is the woman of my dreams and on a day like this I cannot keep it to myself. I must tell the world.
And please take a RSS feed so you will be there when we invade DC and go looking for cherry blossoms. We are going up to Baltimore for a day trip too so you don’t want to miss that. They have an awesome aquarium and I now have a lens filter that lets me shoot through glass without a problem.
