Happy Anniversary. My best wishes to Mrs. NotFromTexas as well. She found herself a good one.
I envy the fact that you seem to have made peace with where you’re at and how you arrived there. I’ve not been able to do that.

Happy Anniversary.
Thank you, Charles!!

Thank you, so much!! Mrs. NotFromTexas thanks you, as well, and she concurs!
