The Pantry Doors.
In a past post or two, I believe I have mentioned The Pantry Doors. You see, J and I since living in our home since "89", have always placed all and any greeting cards that we have received for Birthday's, Valentine's Day, Christmas's, and Anniversary's on The Pantry Doors. Even our two son's also had The Pantry Doors for their birthday's and for their Christmas's.
For J and I on our Birthdays, Valentine's Day, and Anniversary, we do a treasure hunt for our gifts of words to one another. We hardly ever any more exchange actual wrapped gifts. It is these precious cards, be them Hallmark bought, as well as, some made by hand and in one's handwriting that we exchange as gifts. The amount of them can range in high numbers. We scatter them in many many places throughout our home, our two car, and one year, in our own backyard. "J, what is that white thing in that tree over there?"Then of course, when we find each paper card, we seek the other out and give gratitude and love in turn. We then together, hang them on The Pantry Door's.August 28th was our latest treasure hunt. We both tucked them in places like, the coffee can, where we dress in the morning, the shower, the car, in between the sports pages, inside the refrigerator, by the T.V., and lastly, on one's pillow at night to end the day with.
I wanted to share but a few of the ones we exchanged this anniversary. They made us cry and they made us laugh.
Jay says that this is where I taught him to love. In our previous life.
Our best friends R and J apparently think us to be Fred and Wilma! As they signed it, "With love, Betty and Barney!"
Our children have taken example. They have it right and practice it, with every breath they take.
Jay says this was him and I when were were this young. He says that he is whispering in my mouth that I am his forever!
And I couldn't agree with him more!
To always the treasure hunt
and
The Pantry Doors.
