I always forget to look at the different anniversary "gifts" that couples should receive on their special anniversary days. I should have received pottery this year. April, well you should have received leather. And, Mom and Dad...Ruby . Dad...oh Dad...better get that Birk's card out...you have a big one coming up!
Customary anniversary gifts and my interpretation of the gifts in brackets:
1st Wedding Anniversary -- paper (received a medical book on my first anniversary)
2nd Wedding Anniversary -- cotton (ummmm, not. Do cotton balls count that I use to block out Cliff's snoring?)
3rd Wedding Anniversary -- leather (what about fruit leather? does that count)
4th Wedding Anniversary -- flowers or fruit (I get flowers every day from Carlyflower and fruit is in abundance in our house...what about the fruit of Cliff's loins? I get pregnant so easily lol)
5th Wedding Anniversary -- wood (to knock somebody over the head with when they snore lol)
6th Wedding Anniversary -- candy (I went through a candy phase, but not for my anniversary that is for sure)
7th Wedding Anniversary -- wool (does feeling sheep's wool count?)
8th Wedding Anniversary -- bronze (can't say I have anything that is bronze except the bronzer I use everyday to look like the day I got married!)
9th Wedding Anniversary -- pottery (Well, so far no pottery and we are in our 9th year!)
10th Wedding Anniversary -- tin (look what I have to look forward to! Maybe somebody will make me a tin can phone?!)

With my luck, I'll get that old record of "Oh Ruby, don't take your love to town"! and as daddy and I can't even remember the singer's name, even though we both can picture him, I probably won't even get that. Ha Ha.
or cotton granny panties?
Allyson...
Kenny Rogers
Carol-I've got the cotton granny panties already!
And after much thought my hubbie came up with Kenny Rogers too. It was driving us nutty. But anytime I can't think of a name or a word and I wonder what the heck it is, I always appreciate the filling in of the blanks. So thank you, keep them coming :)
My sister is a lot older than she acts. She will be wearing cotton granny panties soon.
The only thing more comfortable than big cotton panties would be going commando.
What are you talking about...my drawer is FULL of granny panties and I wear them on a daily basis!
