Anniversary Delights

12 simple pleasures to celebrate 12 fabulous years:

1. Sleeping in 'til 9 a.m.


2. Giant pumpkin muffin for breakfast.


3. Mostly-cheerful, willing children helping with chores.


4. Good, sweaty workout.


5. Three perfectly chewy caramels.


6. Pedicure.


7. Time together, just us two--and I didn't even have to arrange the babysitter.


8. Reservations at a favorite downtown restaurant with a view of the seaplanes coming and going.


9. Valet parking.


10. Dungeness Crab atop an out-of-this-world, prime cut of filet mignon.


11. Complimentary "celebration cake" delivered by the restaurant general manager with a personal anniversary wish.
    
12. Blowing out the candle with my favorite person who is more than I could ever wish for.
