Today is our 13th anniversary; we start year #14.
We are in Flagstaff for the event. Last night we had a nice meal with some champagne (real stuff, no rubbish).
I like this photo the best. We arrived at the Grand Canyon for the first time, only to encounter this double rainbow. (Notice how Someone’s is the brightest).
Despite the following attributes –
My hummingbird mind that doesn’t stay attentive long
My continual squirming
My hellacious habit of leaving half consumed drinks throughout the house
My insatiable demands
Someone manages to stick with me for 13 years.
We’ll try for another 13 and then some.

The photo is a few years old – I’ve gained weight/he’s lost weight. And we are both grayer!

I thought for a minute there you said you’re both GAYer. I wouldn’t doubt that, either.

Wow. ‘Someone’ has come out, so to speak.
You know, apparently there are some followers of your blog here who have imagined ‘someone’ might be a fiction — I mean, how would we know? Are you sure this isn’t just someone you found ambling along the trail, and said, “Hey, would you mind stepping over here and having your picture taken with me?” 😉
[Congratulations!]

Congratulations Urspo and Someone! That is wonderful news! Sending wet kisses and bear hugs across the miles from Greg and I. BTW, I never doubted for a millisecond the existence of Someone (snicker).
Someone, if you read these comments, I have a request for you. Please give your consent for Urspo to post a pic of you and him together, holding up a newspaper with the date clearly visible 🙂

It would take a lot of bribery to get that done !
He remains blog-shy.

“The most wonderful of all things in life, I believe, is the discovery of another human being with whom one’s relationship has a growing depth, beauty, and joy as the years increase. This inner progressiveness of love between two human beings is a most marvelous thing; it cannot be found by looking for it or by passionately wishing for it. It is a sort of divine accident, and the most wonderful of all things in life.”
-Hugh Walpole, Sr. quotes (British Dramatist, Novelist and Critic, 1884-1941)

Happy anniversary! Usually we are all together on this day. We should plan something extra-special two years hence when we both celebrate significant number anniversaries. Looking forward to seeing you both in two weeks.
And of course Someone really exists. Only Fictitious Bob is fictitious.

Hello ‘Spo!
What a happy post! I always enjoy stopping by Spo Reflections, but today’s entry just made me feel warm and fuzzy all over & I felt moved to comment. Many happy returns to both of you. You are obviously a good ‘fit’ for each other & you’ve cheered up a grey Orléans weekend.
Thank you for sharing a part of your lives with us – it’s much appreciated.

Joyeux anniversaire depuis la France.
Lecteur régulier et toujours curieux des nouvelles réflexions et aventures de Mike et de vous deux, j’entretiens et je perfectionne mon anglais en plus.
J’espère que l’un de vous deux a fait un peu de français à l’école 🙂
Soyez heureux.
