This is my report of day one of our 'grocery anniversary week'.  I wasn't thinking of including Sunday in this celebration, but as it started to take shape and I stood in the chaos of the family gathering just before we started eating and looked at the spread before us it seemed appropriate to use it as a start of the week to commemorate our marriage of 44 years.  In retrospect I believe that it was a good choice.  The day and evening were both fulfilling (in different ways!).  I really did enjoy the hectic noise of the evening.  After-all, here we were with most of my very favorite people together and seeming to enjoy the opportunity.  I did tell them about our plans for the week, but they have changed a little as we have felt to modify them a little bit.  For example, tonight we are going to the Texas Roadhouse instead of Log Haven.  We still plan on what we decided for most of the rest of the week, but certainly there could be some modification.  I admit that it is an extravagant plan.  But I do want it to be something special for my 'something special'.  Usually we are a little dull, and maybe just going out to dinner (or lunch) seven times in a week is also dull.  But we do have a couple of other things going on, and what wife wouldn't appreciate not having to cook like this for a whole week?    If we balance it with a few 'cheaper' meals it won't be so extravagant, but Maddox's and The Roof are must-dos for us in such a special time.  We are planning on many more anniversaries, but really, who knows just what the future holds.  Maybe the earth will end next month!  But if that happens at least I will have recorded our seven days of 'groceries' and then some.
