Happy Halloween

Wishing a Happy Halloween to anyone who will be partying today. I am expecting the kids in the village, trick or treating this afternoon and knocking on my door, wanting some sweet treats. Everything is ready – I wouldn’t be wanting them to play any tricks on me now !!

Halloween is not the main focus of this date for me and hasn’t been for the past twenty-two years, for the date has another significance in our household. My husband and I got married on this date in 1992, so it is our wedding anniversary today. Twenty-two years is apparently a COPPER wedding anniversary. Hmm, that is a tricky one, isn’t it ?

I just found this on the internet :

22nd Anniversary Gift Ideas

Celebrate your 22nd anniversary with the beauty and durability of copper. This versatile metal makes a fitting traditional and modern theme for the 22nd wedding anniversary, as it can be used in everything from coins, to jewelry, to cookware and home goods. For 22 years, your relationship has made it through a lot, making it just as versatile. Celebrate this with gifts you can enjoy together, like kitchen goods for cooking an anniversary dinner or decor for your home. Give her copper jewelry she can wear anywhere and give him a money clip or simple treasure he can keep with him always.

I wonder if Mr Léger would really appreciate a copper money clip ? I can state quite categorically that as far as I am concerned, he can forget about giving me kitchen goods for cooking an anniversary dinner !!!!!!!
