Yesterday, I went to the store to buy an anniversary gift for my wife…because yesterday was our anniversary.
Sometimes I buy them early (earlier in the day, that is) but my tardiness made the gift no less important, even if I was in Wal-Mart.
Years ago, I had been counseled to buy jewelry and jewelry only for gifts but today was going to be an exception. Mostly because I was in Wal-Mart.
I selected a huge chocolate bar (expensive chocolate is better than cheap jewelry), a card and a bag to put the card and chocolate in.
As I put my items on the conveyer belt, I noticed the man behind me in line was buying a big piece of thick rope.
I guess he’s been married longer than I have been.
