Eight Years, But Who's Counting?
Today Dawnise and I celebrate our eighth anniversary. Hard to believe that eight years ago today we were standing, sheltered from the rain in a tree hollowed out by a lighting strike, in Muir Woods exchanging vows. After getting well and thoroughly drenched, we got changed out of our garb (did I mention we were in garb?) and went to lunch at the Hard Rock Cafe. Dinner was at a Moroccan restaurant in the city - great food, great company, and a belly dancer. Hard to go wrong there.
Tonight we went to il Bistro - a nice Italian place in Pikes Place Market. The atmosphere was intimate and relaxed, and the food was very good. I didn't have much of anything to give as a gift, as any time I haven't spent at work we've spent together (makes it hard to shop for someone), which made me feel even worse when Dawnise gave me the latest fountain pen to join my collection this morning.
It's a one of a kind, made by hand by a local pen maker here in Seattle - it's a wooden body, made of Tulipwood from Brazil. Apparently they can't harvest this particular wood from a live tree - it has to fall on it's own. A beautiful addition to the growing pen collection.
Thanks, beautiful -- for everything.
