Happy First Anniversary to you both Levonian and Mayflower!!! May you both share continued happiness, love and respect for each other for many years to come. Have a wonderful celebration tonight Happy Anniversary.
What a special day. Mayflower and I packed a picnic lunch and drove to El Capitan State Beach in Santa Barbara. We planned to have a romantic picnic underneath the old Monterey Cypress where I first proposed to Mayflower. We paid the $8.00 admission, parked the car, and got the ice chest out of the trunk. Eagerly, we carried it down the path to the water’s edge where the ancient tree has been growing for centuries, with the high tide lapping at its exposed and gnarled roots. When we got to the path’s end, we found this:
That's too bad about the 'tree', although, looking at the shape of the trunk does indeed look like a 'clover-leaf'...whether or not you've gotten a partial or full refund of the 8 dollars admission fee, look on the bright side, seeing your better half sitting on the clover-leaf shaped stump may bring years of good luck--now that's something to ponder and monkeyin' about on!!
Anyhow, wishes you both many more great years together!
