Thursday was mine and Dan's twenty second wedding anniversary. We both had to work, and had planned on celebrating Friday and Saturday.
Well, Dan came down with a tummy bug on Wednesday, I got it at work late Thursday night, and Bill got it this morning. Yuck.
The weather was crazy yesterday anyway, so it was a good day to stay at home (for me - Dan worked, and Steven did some volunteering stuff at the school). First it was foggy and cloudy. Then it snowed. Then it sleeted. Then it rained. Then it got icy. Then we had a wind storm.
If I am going to be sick on my day off, that was a good day to be sick, and snooze in bed, and drink lots of hot tea.
Today Dan and I did go out for awhile. But we did not go to Frankenmuth as we had originally planned. Instead we spent a day in Ann Arbor. We went to Arborland Mall for a quick trip to the bookstore, then headed downtown. We went to that old institution, Treasure Mart, a resale shop. I saw a couple of old nice china serving pieces, but did not feel like paying the $6 a pop for them. We then went to Kerrytown, where we checked out the specialty food markets and bought some spices from the spice merchant. We ate lunch at the Thai restaurant (called Siam Cuisine) at Braun Court. The food was really really really good - and they brought out a huge platter for each person - a bowl of their lunch entree, a salad, thesewonderful noodles, and this really good fried rice - for something like $5.59. Unbelievable. I couldn't even eat everything. Then we went to Zingermans Deli where we bought a loaf of braided challah.
Then we went to Main Street, where we bought a lovely onyx bowl from Pakistan at Ten Thousand Villages, and did some other light shopping.
So we had a great afternoon, did not spend a whole lot of money, and were close to home in case the kids had an emergency.
There are much worse ways to celebrate an anniversary, even two days after the fact.
We might or might not go out to dinner - we will see how Bill is doing first.
