Rocky Road

Yesterday was our wedding anniversay. We were married 12 years ago at City Hall, it was a beautiful cool, crisp Tueday. My daughter was 16 soon to be 17. My husbands sister-in-law told us that 18 was a lucky number in the Jewish religion - she is Jewish, so she knows.

My mom treated all to a wedding dinner/reception at the Crab House in Long Island City(we were about 35 people in all) It was a very nice afternoon. We did not go on a honeymoon until the spring. Then we went away for a long weekend at Danbury Inn at Port Jefferson.

The Inn has lovely rooms and it's a really nice town with great shops and lots of good food. If you want, you can catch a ferry to Conn. I don't do boats but we had a very nice time anyway. We try to go back there once a year for lunch and just to spend an afternoon (honestly, we haven't been there in a while). So, anyway I got an Happy Anniversay wish and a kiss yesterday morning. We planned to stay home for dinner and go out special maybe Saturday- he likes steak and I like fish. The day at work was great - all the officers were out playing golf for the day.


Perfect!! So I caught up on all my work - cleared off my desk and enjoyed the rest of the day - at lunch we sat outside - it was so lovely. I ate a bag of M&M's - ahh...life is good. When I got home the dog was alone. Not a good sign. So I walked the dog and went throught the mail. I was just about to start eating dinner when I heard the front door open. My huband came in with Dunkin Donuts and a quart of Baskin Robbins ice cream - half cookies and cream and half rocky road. I love rocky road - it's one of my favorites - I'm also crazy about, since I was a little girl, cherry vanilla - tho, I never met a strawberry ice cream I didn't like either. Growing up on 2nd avenue in NYC I remember the Good Humor Vanilla Coconut on a stick - when I ever see it I get one - you don't see it around too much any more.

When I go to the mall with my daughter and granddaughter , we get the fancy ice creams - they are good too. My daughter likes shakes and so does my husband - me, I like ice cream on a sugar cone - (now they have sugar cone cups!!) Anyway, we had dinner and then he gave me his paycheck - been trying to get a rein on our bills. We got ready for the ballgame - do or die game - I had to dig really down in the ice cream carton, because the rocky road was on the bottom (who likes cookies and cream?). Got a big bowl of ice cream - I was very happy - so was my dog - she got to enjoy the last two spoonfuls I saved for her.
