Sweet Romance...

A very good friend of mine is celebrating her 5th anniversary with her fiancé this weekend. Laura is a wonderful romantic and something of a Martha Stewart (though she could teach Martha a few things!). She has a real flare for drama and presentation, and knows how to have fun, and she's come up with a great idea for her man this weekend.

Due to the fact that this is a romantic event being planned, I will offer them some privacy and not go into details, other than, I MUST share her very original card with you.

Laura wanted to convey to Kim how big her love is for him, and how sweet their life is together. She had an idea for a sweet card, and enlisted her mother, Judy, to write an appropriate sentiment.

Judy has been writing personalized poetry for family, friends and special gifts for many years. Her mind just clicks on and her pen follows. I've enjoyed watching her create these fun "Judyettes," and Laura and I have always told her she should be published. Well my fellow blogophiles, I am very proud to be the first one to "publish" Judy's original work right here on my blog!

So, as you read the poetry, imagine it on two full-size poster boards with actual candy and candy bars placed appropriately...

Dear "Sweethearts" Kim (and cats)

On this our "5th Avenue" -versary,
I would just like to say-
I love you more than all the stars in the "MilkyWay"

The day I met you was surely a "Skor"
And I'm hoping for many, many years more.

We are so different, but yet so in sync;
We're a "100 Grand" duo, don't you think?

You like soft fuzzy kittys, beer and "Reeses' peanut butter cups"
I like wine, "Snickers" and rowdy ole pups.

You like baseball and "Grand Slam" runs,
I like cooking and cinnamon buns.

I think "Baby Ruth" was a baseball great,
You think the Babe was really first rate.

I like to go on a shopping "Spree"
You like to gamble, but not without me!!!!

Sometimes you're quiet and others "Nutrageous,"
Funny, ambitious, timid and courageous.

I love you for all the things you are,
I love you more than a "KitKat" bar.

You are an "Almond Joy" to me
I love you, love you, don't you see?

As we pass through the "Symphony" of life,
I hope you see I will be a good wife.

As you will always be my "Mr. Goodbar"
And I love you more than my brand new car.

Sometimes life can be a "RockyRoad"
But know that I'll be there to help carry the load.

Your burdens are heavy so "Take 5" and a "Fast Break"
And enjoy your life, for Heaven's sake!

I'll make you Kahlua, you'll probably get drunk,
But I love you to pieces, my "Big Hunk."

So "Hugs" and "Kisses" you'll always get
For 60 anniversaries to come - on that you can bet.

From your "Bit-O-Honey,"
Laura

Happy Anniversary, Laura & Kim!
