Hiding Flowers Isn’t Always the Best Way to Give Them

Submitted by Jim B.

We had been married about 3 years (now it is 42) and I was working the swing shift as a policeman. I knew that my wife always got a glass of ice water from the refrigerator when she came home from work, so I put some roses and chocolates in the refrigerator so she would be surprised when she got her water.

She came home, didn’t see anything from me and was so mad that she went straight to the bedroom and laid down and cried.

When I got home I saw that she was mad and didn’t understand. I took her to the fridge, opened it and the tears started. We have had a lot of laughs about it over the years!

Jim B. and his wife Jann will celebrate their 43rd anniversary in June of 2010
