Sweetie and I have been doing for several years. It is pretty cool because the women love the corsages and most of the time we get invited in to sit for a spell and talk with these couples. We love it. These folks have quite the stories to tell.<\/div>\n<div>This year Sweetie couldn&#8217;t go. She is the co-President of SuperPizzaBoy&#8217;s school and she had to work on a fundraiser Saturday night. So I went. It was still nice but not as nice as having Sweetie along. Maybe next year.<\/p>\n<p>I consoled my lonely feelings by finding a couple of geocaches in a local park. The first was a toughie but I finally spotted it. I&#8217;m not going to tell you which geocache it is because I want you to spend 20 minutes in a park trying to act not like a pervert while a bunch of Society for Creative Anachronism folks are battering each other with wooden swords.<\/p><\/div>\n<div> <\/div>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" id=\"BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5300172160940345970\" style=\"DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 458px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 286px; TEXT-ALIGN: center\" alt=\"\" src=\"http:\/\/yogisden.us\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/02\/20090207_7-300x225.jpg\" border=\"0\" \/><\/p>\n<p>SCA is an awesome organization because only they are more dorky than geocachers.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>One thing our church does this time of year for couples married over 50 years is present each wife with a corsage.
