Nice anniversary

[fbhjr]

Holly and I had a very nice anniversary.
We went to O’Connor’s. I’d say we had a nice meal, but that would be redundant as we were at O’Connor’s and that is always nice.
I helped her buy some stuff for her trip to Canada this weekend. (I am sad I won’t be going as I haven’t seen Lee in a long time myself. And, they live in a beautiful part of Canada.)
Then she came back to the apartment and stayed the night. (Which the therapist told me not to get my hopes up for, so it was an extra bonus.)

So, it was very nice. I’m very glad we spent the time together.

I have sent her a proposal for moving back in. I am in no way saying that our issues are gone. But, I don’t see how we can learn to live together if we’re living apart.
If it could always be like last night, it wouldn’t be a problem. But, that’s unrealistic.
Maybe if it is just like last night more often?
For now, I still have hope.

Frank, let me be direct here. I think its best right now for Holly to come up on her own and that was at OUR request. And believe it or not it really had little to do with you.

There will be another time for you to come and visit, I am certain. But right now, Lee and Holly both need a gals weekend to recharge. I am planning on feeding them delicacies, taking in the Oktberfest atmosphere all around us, and just kicking back and watching the alpacas. There may even be scrabble. No matter what we end up doing she'll be well fed and loved.

I wasn’t planning on going, and am surprised you would think I was.
I am sorry I won’t get to see a friend who I’m told isn’t doing well.
And, I envy my wife taking a nice trip to a nice section of Canada.

To be honest, I’m quite insulted you would think I would invite myself along on something like that. You have said a number of times that you don’t know me very well, so you probably do not know that I feel very strongly about the rules of hospitality and would never go visit someone if I wasn’t invited. Even with my best of friends who I’ve known for decades I don’t just show up on their doorstep and expect to be let in. I would consider that to be a major breach of propriety. And, that’s with my friends. To suggest I would do it to someone I’ve met once for a weekend a year ago, even if one of my friends lives there, is far, far beyond the pale.

I also had no doubt you would take good care of my wife. I would expect no less after you invited her there. (Or anyone for that matter.)

It does sound like you have nice plans. She and I were talking about finding an Octoberfest to go to the other day, so I’m sure she would be in the mood to enjoy one.

I’m sorry you don’t understand that I can envy someone a nice trip to do nice things and not be trying to weasel my way into going. I remain sad that I won’t have a chance to see an old friend who is sick.
