24 years of marital bliss

I took a day off from the nursery to spend time with my beautiful wife of 24 years. Today was our anniversary and we left the kids at home and went out on the town so to speak. Actually we decided to go visit another nursery (I just can't stay away from them). I enjoy visiting other nurseries to get inspiration, ideas and just to relax. It's hard to relax at my own nursery! We went to Hill Country Water Gardens in Cedar Park. The nursery staff was friendly and diligent to see that we were greeted several times during our visit. The large oak trees on the grounds were a welcome respite from the 98 degree temperatures and overall the nursery was very nice with some beautiful water garden displays. Sometimes I'll introduce myself, but this time I just stayed incognito. We took our time and strolled through the whole nursery and enjoyed ourselves immensely. After thanking the staff for letting us look, we left and headed for some air conditioning. We decided to take in a movie and went to see Get Smart. This was one of my favorite shows when I was a kid and we weren't disappointed. The movie was very funny with out a lot of objectionable content except for some foul language. The interesting thing is that the movie would have been just as funny or even more so without the cursing. After the movie we decided to finish the evening off at our favorite restaurant, Pappadeaux. We have eaten there for our last 3 anniversaries. We thought about trying some place new but decided that we would stick with the proven. The restaurant did not let us down. We arrived at 7:15 pm and only had to wait about 5 minutes to get a table(it was a Tuesday evening). Our waitress was pleasant and the food was fantastic. I had grilled salmon with a heavenly sauce over it and Jody had the fried shrimp. We finished the meal off with a very rich and yummy chocolate dessert and headed for the house. All in all it was a very nice evening.
