Our 25th anniversary was December 3rd, but Cris was very sick at that time and undergoing ECT treatments which affected her memory. Recently I mentioned something about it, and she was distressed that she had no memory of such a special occasion. So today we “re-celebrated” our anniversary. Nothing too fancy, just got dressed up and had a nice dinner together at our favorite restaurant (Chili’s).
Surprise #1: Cris had her hair done up in ringlets. This was about on par with the Pope turning Lutheran. She’s had the same simple, straight hairstyle as long as I’ve known her. (Not that I’m complaining.) In fact she said the last time she did anything fancy with her hair was for the Prom.
Surprise #2: The management at Chili’s didn’t charge us for our dinner! That was really unexpected, and very kind of them.
All in all, it was a most memorable occasion.
