Today is Leon's and my Tenth Wedding Anniversary though it's been 36 years we've been together.
I am eternally grateful for having met and wed such a kind, loving and devoted man with whom I've spent almost half my life. I am a moody, crabby, anxious, introverted old guy with new aches and pains, hearing aids, knee and joint issues and a back ache. And hubby still puts up with me.
I just had cataract surgery on my right eye (the left eye was done three weeks ago) and I was not prepared for the the fact that I can see better for distance, but cannot see close without reading glasses.
I got a pair of readers at the pharmacy but they are not quite right...And that right now is a royal pain in the ass because what I need until I get a new prescription (which I cannot do for at least 4-6 weeks) is a pair of bifocal reading glasses which are nowhere to be found in these parts but have to be ordered on line....
This has made me irritable and cranky. I am living up to my moniker "Cranky Franky" for sure...and not disposed to celebrate our Anniversary in style.
But it's early in the day so I'll get over it before Leon gets home from work.
I think we will have dinner at home this evening and maybe go out to a restaurant this weekend to celebrate a bit more formally.
The early years:

The beauty of lifelong commitment! Thanks for sharing those wonderful photos with us. What caught my eye in particular are the gorgeous matching boutonnieres you each wore on your wedding day! Am I correct in identifying lily of the valley, a rose, and a rainbow ribbon?
Happy Tenth Wedding Anniversary and cheers to the full Thirty-Six!
Congratulations!
Now, go adjust your mood so that there is an eleventh year 😁 (going outside to shake your fist and curse at the clouds might help - the neighbors will probably dismiss it as the behavior of a cranky old man).

Happy anniversary. We were legally married 14 years ago, after being together 29 years, last week and completely forgot. Sorry we didn’t make it the event that you guys did. Do you need bifocals. After my cataract surgery I just need reading and computer glasses, so I’m back to complaining about having to put my glasses constantly on and off. I didn’t think that would would annoy me. It was easier wearing them all the time.
C O N G R A T U L A T I O N S ! A bit under the weather here but your pics made my day - especially #2 and #3. All good wishes for long life, good health, e sempre amore!
