Happy happy anniversary to you and GC, Zoom! You seem like you were made for each other. DH and I just celebrated our 38th wedding anniversary but really it’s 40.5 years together. (If only we hadn’t been babies when we met!) You are so lucky to know it when you found it. Many happy returns. And all the best to you both.

Happy Anniversary! We had an outhouse until I was about 4 yrs old but my Mom and Dad grew up with outhouses and not only that but they used the Eatons catalogue for toiletpaper. The pages were like newsprint not the glossy pages in catalogues these days. Still…eeewwwww….

OMG I laughed until i cried!

How useful that you took all this ill will and created a “hostess” to heap it on, instead of mom!!!!

This post is absolutely going to give me nightmares. I am NOT an outdoor person or a cottage person. One of my earliest experiences at a cottage involved an outhouse and ACK, I thought for sure I would die.

And I was like, 25 years old.

So glad to hear you had a much happier weekend and a nice relaxing cottage experience!

Well, happy, happy, happy anniversary. You and GC are the greatest. Now, just don’t let XUP read about the smelly outhouse; we’ll never hear the end of it.

Deb … The only woman there was me! We had no hostess. That’s why you don’t remember one. It was up at Uncle Terry’s lot with just a bare bones shack of a cottage and an outhouse.

Terry and Skipper went hunting and we all thought we were eating duck till I said the duck must have walked rather than flown all the way to Canada because the leg I was eating was so tough. That’s when they told us all that it was a bunny and the subsequent conversation about meat sources ensued.

And Zoom: you forgot to mention that you had to clean your chamber pot yourself! You got all the main things right just a few stray ends that got knotted in the forty some years of trying to forget it all!

Happy Anniversary to you and GC! I know it makes you nervous but I am going to say it anyway. You have found yourself a real keeper in GC and I am delighted that you are so happy together.
