Twenty-Six

Fossil Darling sent me a lovely note first thing this morning. “Congratulations,” it was headed. “It was a lovely day, all of which is such a fond memory……….” he wrote. My first thought was that, yes, I enjoyed walking down to the river the other day and taking photographs. But, no: it couldn’t be that. Hmm.

I am pretty sharp, first thing in the morning, but Fossil Darling is a professional. I must live up to his standards. Had I been able to, I’d realized right off, instead of after a few head-scratchings, that he was talking about the twenty-sixth wedding anniversary that Kathleen and I celebrate today.
