The romance is still alive
We have been married for 18 years. I don’t want to say we are post-romance but things are definitely different than they used to be. The last few years, I have gotten Emily some interesting gifts. I guess I just figure that we ought to get practical if we are going to be forced into consumerism. In recent years, I have gotten Emily a muffin pan, a vacuum and a frying pan. We needed each of those things so I naturally figured that there was no better way to show how much I cared than to give something we need.
For some reason, Emily doesn’t see it that way. Anyhow, this year I decided to express my affection in a different way…Emily loves ice cream cakes from Baskin Robbins (and nowhere else) so I got her a cake all for herself. We also lost our local source of Smucker’s apple jelly. There is no apple jelly like Smucker’s so I ordered a six-pack online and had it shipped. Here’s where I get extra credit…I ordered both gifts before Valentine’s day! Anyhow, I think I hit it on the head this year. What do you think?

Emily’s posting on Valentine’s Day was the best I saw all day!
That is simply lovely. I am a big fan of the necessary gift. My dude got me a Kitchenaide mixer a year or two ago. Although, I think you get quite a few years off with this year’s extravaganza.
Well played, sir, well played.
you’re the Maytag repairman of romance, Warren, ha!
Awww, you are a big old hunk of honey Warren!!
