Thanks Dawn! Unfortunately, since DH is across the state, I will be celebrating aloneDawn419 said:Just want to wish ya's a Happy Anniversary!!!
but, as I keep telling him, at least this way it will take us longer to get sick of each other! 
Most of BOTH our families act the same way about my making bread! The MOST important reason we eat HM bread is...drumroll please... it tastes better! If we are not trying to force you to bake your own, what should it matter to you if we do??Bettacreek said:My brother is about the only one who "gets" me. He and I were cut from the same mold, but the rest of my family seems to have been skipped the "cool genes". A few days ago I was talking to dad on the phone and mentioned how I was making bread. He said "why? Isn't it more expensive to make your own?" I said well no, it's a bag of flour and this and that. He's like but it costs so much to buy all that when you can spend a dollar or two on a loaf of bread. I just explained that my little two dollar bag of flour will make MANY loaves of bread and now that $4 for 2lbs of yeast will make a TON of bread. Other than that, it wasn't a big deal. My mom though, ugh. When I had the ducks at her house, and when something came through and slaughtered all but one, she kept telling everyone how she can't wait for something to kill the last one and wished it had gotten the others a long time ago. When I got the new ducks, she kept telling George "you know they poop right?" Like, no, the man is 64 years old and hasn't figured out yet that ducks crap.Luckily, George is very on board with me. He makes enough money to go buy decent food, but he has NEVER said anything bad about any of my endeavors. The worst he said about them is when I said we were getting new laying hens and he said "that'll be more feed". Other than that, he's been very helpful and mostly just says "they're your birds, you do whatever you like with them". My brother keeps reminding me that once he gets his property ready that I have to help him with birds. He was asking about the incubator and after a good conversation he said "well, the heck with that, I'll just have you hatch them out when I need new ones" lol. He's also taking me hunting on his grounds to get venison this year. So, I have all the support that I need anyways. I wish everyone was so lucky!
Now, he marvels at how far 'he's' come! I cut him slack though, after all, he was a city boy 
My family, I'll NEVER understand! 
I hope you have a good seperate one. DH and I have 
It's when we got together today we found trouble
DH, apparently, mailed me a sappy mushy card at some point this week, and it arrived todayWannabefree said:Happy Anniversary other Cindi
That's pretty thoughtful, considering I only realized it was today after reading your post and checking the date 
Aw that was sweet. My hubster doctored my foot, and he has been feeling really bad about leaving that board there with nails in it. Poor guy. While I was working this morning he cleaned house for me, as an anniversary present since as he put it "we is po' folk, and I can't get you nothing"SSDreamin said:DH, apparently, mailed me a sappy mushy card at some point this week, and it arrived todayWannabefree said:Happy Anniversary other Cindi
Sweeping the floor is what got his allergies stirred up. I can NOT sweep when he's in the house! He is so allergic to dust he has an attack almost every time. Dunno what possessed him to sweep himself knowing what would happen, but he did, for me. Now we can both feel guilty for our tenth anniversary

It's the thoughtfulness that counts, right? 
"we is po' folk" too, so DH said he agreed to stay there and work tomorrow, as my gift I told him tonight when he called that you and your hubby have the same anniversary, and he said "Hey! They got married on a Friday too!" He has this freaky ability to tell what day of the week our anniversary fell on, all 15 prior years (apparently our six anniversary was on a Friday ) - I told him that just proved he was an Idiot Savant freak, and that we are COMPLETE opposites! 
Doc and I have that same attitude!SSDreamin said:Thanks Dawn! Unfortunately, since DH is across the state, I will be celebrating alone
When we first got together, he had a few different "traveling" jobs and we were always glad to be together when he got home.
About 3/4ths of the family can't believe that I'm not afraid to be here by myself at night and I just don't get it! I just tell them that I've got a gun and a dog and whoever thinks about messin' around here after dark is the one that need to be afraid.
