ieFriday was the 22nd Anniversary for Sweetie and I. Also, it was my day off. So we dropped SuperPizzaBoy off at school and then had breakfast together. Then we went on our annual Anniversary Bike Ride.
We rode a little over 23 miles, not bad huh? I’m not sure we could have got to 24.
As a special treat Sweetie booked his and her pedicures. I had been kidding her before about getting one so she did it.
Above is the “before” picture. Not too bad huh? “Hah!”
Man what a chair, it kneads and vibrates and all sorts of stuff.
Here’s Lee, my nail technician. A very nice lady with a great sense of humor. It took almost an hour. She nipped, tucked, used a cheese grater, gigantic emery boards, and various instruments of torture to get the crap that has been hiding behind the nails for years. I had some strange calluses that seemed to befuddle her but she kept on at it.
Here’s the after. These toes have never been so pretty, or so happy, my feet felt great. I’m scheduling Lee on the afternoon after the Tulsa Run in October. My only regret is that I didn’t get color. I could have got a reddish orange to match the colors on my sandals. What do you think? Or what do you think about a Dallas Cowboys Star? Sweetie now knows that she created a monster. Do you think that I’m going to let her get a pedicure by herself from now on?
So we picked up SPB from school and later dropped him off at Nana’s. The world’s greatest MIL. Then it was downtown for drinks at the elegant Mayo Hotel.
We went to their Penthouse Bar. They have seating out on the roof. It was great.
The drinks. This is a great place for people watching. My favorite sport next to eavesdropping on other’s conversations.
There’s the gas company!
Updating Facebook Status.
Skyping with the kid in Tokyo.
A beautiful sunset from the roof.
Dinner at the Palace Cafe. Our favorite place. They had just reopened after a major remodel so it wasn’t the quiet experience we were hoping for. The food was fabulous though.
And then home, a pinion fire, wine and music on the patio.
Thanks Sweetie, for twenty two years, and looking forward to many more, and a Great Anniversary Day!
What a lovely anniversary. A pedicure should be for everybody. But I’m disappointed you didn’t go for color.
What a wonderful way to celebrate, including the bike ride. It sounds like the perfect day.
Wow! What a wonderful day you two had. I don’t know who is braver, you or Lee, but your pedicure looks fabulous.
Oh my,what a lovely way to spend a special day and so different.
Glad you’ve booked Lee again, pedicures should not be just for anniversaries!
Sweetie and you really know how to celebrate. Gorgeous sunset!
You look GREAT in a helmet.
I’m disappointed that I didn’t see you in a snuggie during the pedicure.
The before picture was scary. The after picture was a HUGE improvement. Your feet thanked you didn’t they?
I’ve never been to the Mayo or Palace Cafe but I’m so glad that you and Sweetie had a great anniversary!
What a lovely anniversary you both shared.
I would have gone for the orange toenail polish Yogi, 😉 would have looked rather nice…….
Funny previous post… I’ll pass on a toes shot thank you, but those drinks. You’ve got me there.
Happy! Happy!
What a fabulous day with the lady you love! :))))) Love those toes! Yes, match the sandals with the polish. Uh, no, not really. 🙂 The drinks and dinner were fantastic! :))) Congrats and all the best to you both.
Happy Anniversary to both of you! Sounds like you had a great day!
What a great way to celebrate your special day – I think you should have gone for that star! Happy Anniversary to you and Sweetie.
Happy Anniversary! Looks like you had quite a day. You’re such a good sport to do a pedi with your wife!
What an incredible post. Happy anniversary to both of you. Feeling the love from here! What a beautiful day.
I may not be able to return if you keep posting pictures of your feet.
Happy Anniversary! Maybe you should give Doc some pointers. Lucky to just get a decent dinner over here.
Okay, first—congrats on 22 years! That is freakin awesome!
You have no idea how proud I am of you getting a pedi! It looks fantastic. Bravo!
The hotel/dinner looked amazing. I’m jealous! You two definitely know how to celebrate!
