Today is a day in the annals of a Married Mans Life that either turns out great, or ends in disappointment.

Today is Tina's Anniversary! Oooops! I guess it's mine too??
I did good (I think ) in getting her a card, and a gift!  ( Surely I feel I did OK )
What do you think???

Now Remember....this is an aged relationship of Forty Eight Y E A R S .... Today!

I have a print at home cards from American Greetings, and I printed and designed a card for Tina that is personal and shows I care> I Hope?
I wanted to get her something personal, (Not like the paper shredder I got her for our 30th plus a night out for dinner ).
It was so easy, and I didn't have to lift myself off this chair.
I went on Amazon, and I found out A Gift card can be purchased AND Delivered to her On-Line and placed into her Inbox on her e-mail program.
In an Instant....I was a hero! WoW! A card, with pretty roses on front, and a $75.00 gift card.
I was going to make it a $100.00 card, but I had to deduct for her pedicure she is going to get done today! Well, It will cost more with the tip, but I gave her the benefit of the doubt, and only subtracted $25.00.

So, am I wrong here??? .... Did I mess up? .... Was I at least 50% considerate? ....

Ah, but you are asking the WRONG people this question.

The only one who matters is Lovely Tina....and her answer is important to the next 48 years of your life......

Good luck, my friend......Good Luck!

((ps - for our 45th anniversary this year we didn't even give/send one another a card. I did call him and he did answer the phone with, "Happy Anniversary", to let me know he remembered, but that was it. And it was fine with me!))

I would say you did fine.DD buys me stuff & when DS sends my GC I love that. he also sends me great gifts ,he just has that knack.

EX would buy me very expensive items that for the most part where his taste.. That I would have to return. Gifts are nice but in his case I always preferred cash large sums of cash  Laughing 

Have a great day to you & Tina..Wish to heck I had found a wonderful husband.

Happy anniversary.

I'm with Beth...the only one it matters to is Tina. Knowing that you are so worried about making this perfect for her is almost an additional gift. To me, if the gift shows that my husband thought about it, I am usually pretty happy with it.

I also love the idea of making the card yourself. Time is one of the best gifts you can give to anyone, and you took the time to get her the perfect card. Good job!!!

Thank you all for your input (s) and well wishes.

Well!..... All went well, and my thoughts in thinking of her, passed the test!
She said,"Wow!.....I'll take a gift card from any establishment / just so that it's free to me!"

She was happy, and God only knows, I was even happier!

Now I just have to cook the supper tonight. She wants Italian Style Ricotta Filled Meatloaf!
I wanted grilled burgers......... Guess it's the meatloaf huh?!

Good call on the meatloaf.

You can have burgers another night and then EVERYONE will be happy.

Amazing how we, at one time long, long ago....said, "I want to grow old with you....", thinking it was sweet and put both into a loving mood.

Now that we HAVE grown old together, well, what the heck is next?????

I mean, what can we say? "Hey, old guy (girl) ~ we got old together. Is this what YOU thought it would be like????"

Who ever thought what "for better or worse, in sickness & in health, till death do us part" really meant ????

Crap, I was only 12 ~ what did I know ???

lol
