40th Wedding Anniversary

We were at Grammie’s and Grampie’s for Thanksgiving today – and also to celebrate their 40th Wedding Anniversary  – meaning being married for 40 yrs – mama explained.  So what did Grampie give to Grammie?  A ruby apple – according to Grampie – haha!  mama said she wants partner rings from daddy when they celebrate their 40th together.   I guess you could call a marriage a partnership right?  since you need to make decisions together – raise a kid together – and buy a house together – so yes – you can call it a partnership.  So partner rings are good for any years of wedding anniversary or for those who have been together for a long time as well.   And yes I had turkey, mashed potatoes, corn and carrots for dinner and the adults had wine from Lunenburg – and mama bought Grampie a bottle of Vodka and all thanks to Aunt Helena for cooking everything and making me such a lovely yummy meal.  Aunt Leonette and Uncle Walter came with cake for Grammie and Grampie – and the cake was really good – we had that for dessert.
