This morning I enjoyed the company of Larry and Nita.  They are a wonderful Oklahoma couple who celebrated their 40th wedding anniversary with us.  (And I thought Scott and I were doing a great job making it to 20!!)  It is couples like this that inspire me.  Being married isn't easy and it isn't always fun but it is worth all the work when you find yourselves 40 years down the road  happy, content and spending quality time together.  I hope they had a great stay and I, very much, enjoyed cooking breakfast for them.  Speaking of....We had pecan pancakes (always [...]
