Nine Years

[willowisp]

On Wednesday, April 11th, callicrates and I celebrated our ninth anniversary. It was fairly quiet; I gave him some marbles made from goldstone and tiger eye which I had bought for him for some former holiday and had promptly forgotten about.

For dinner we went out to The Melting Pot, a fondue restaurant chain which he'd tried at esmerel and merlin's recommendation when he was in California. We had the full course, with cheddar for the beginner, broth for the meats, and s'mores for the chocolate. It was all very yummy, and I got one of their teddy bears to celebrate. I was happy to see that the bear sales benefit St. Jude's. They also gave us some word refrigerator magnets, a happy anniversary card, and took our picture.

Afterward we went home, goofed off, and foozled the kitties. Andy also took Thursday and Friday off, so we had more time to do things together. After all the travel at the beginning of the year, just staying home and being together was a wonderful change.

Heh.. speaking of teddy bears. Yay bears. I still have the bear you sent me some five or so years ago. Whee!

Actually what we recommended was La Fondue -- we've never been to the Melting Pot, and hear that it varies widely by location. Some are very good, some are very bad, and others in between.

Yay anniversary!

Also yay Melting Pot. All the ones I've been to (Cinti, Atlanta, a couple in Maryland) have all been very good.

Congratulations! We've loved every melting pot we've been to (DC, Raleigh, and Chicago - for our 10th anniversary).

(smile) Happy anniversary to you both. :-)

And thank you again for the invitation, so long ago, to join you both on your very special day. In the ten years since I began, and even amongst all the beautiful memories I have been so lucky to share with friends, that weekend shared with everyone remains one of my favorite and treasured.

Light and laugther be with you both, always. *hug*

Mmmmm, Melting Pot. I think I could live very happily off their Wisconsin cheese blend, and never miss the rest...Well, the wisconsin cheese and of course the chocolate.

Happy somewhat belated anniversary!

Love the Melting Pot! I am so glad there are some here in the St. Louis area.

Congrats on the Anniversary! Just a couple of years behind me and JD. ^_^


We should be fully settled into our new home, which means I can start the process of keeping in better touch with everyone.

Take care!

Nine down! Many, many, many, many, many, many, many, many, many more to go!

Congratulations.

And, yeah, what jklgoduke said about Melting Pot. A new one just opened near Southpoint, so keep that in mind if you all are in town anytime. :-)
