Nineteen Years of Being in the Garden of Marriage, weeds, roots, escargots and growing wildly
"Yann, stand in front of the armoire and act like you are in love."
"I am in love I don't need to act it. Do you want me to be an armoire homme debout?"
"Yeah-yeah-okay, stand in front of the armoire, and act like you're laying on the beach or something, like you're in love on the beach. Like the armoire is your lifeboat and your happy in love. Like you are standing in the Garden of Eden..."
"Corey, what are you doing?"
"I want to take a photo of you by the amoire."
SNAP went the camera! "I am making a calendar."
"Comment vas-tu faire.. a calendar of moi?"
Happy Anniversary to the man who will do anything for me, (at least once,) if it doesn't start with honey-do this, or honey-do that...
Photo P.S. If you want a calendar of Yann I think he is willing! Unless he kills me after reading this...
Corey, may I choose the color of them ?

Congratulations to you both! 19 years! Wonderful. A very hunky hubby indeed and lovely taste in furniture too!
I think you should do a calendar, why not? Do it up right, with beautiful moods and B/W nudes, even though you'll make only one, for just yourself!
It's possible today with digital presses! Pretend your are Andrea Scher!

Oh, let's make it an even 100!
Posted by:Sandy | 16 January 2007 at 08:44 AM
Yann, Can I make a calendar of you? In Velvet shorts?

Just had to add one more comment! Happy "Belated" Anniversary! Lovely Armoire! oooh la la! Handsome French husband you have there!
Posted by:Denise | 16 January 2007 at 05:53 AM
If the comments reach 100 and you really do produce a calendar... please put yourself in it too! "Yann in love" would not be as compelling without the object of his affection!
Happy Anniversary to you both.
(my man and I celebrated our 15th in December)

Happy Anniversary! Handsome AND willing to be photographed for your blog? He's a KEEPER.
Posted by:Marilyn | 14 January 2007 at 08:07 PM
LOL! Corey! Now I see that Yan is just as nutty as you! A perfect match, I say.

Having just celebrated our 24th anniversary of happy marriage, I am hoping it is not in too terrifically poor taste to look at another woman's husband, lick my lips, and think "yum".
Tongue in Cheek responds:
You can lick your lips, but he is all mine for kissing!

Is Yann for sale in your "flea market"?

You have yourself a "keeper" for sure! Happy belated anniversary dear one... and many more to come.

Corey, Happy Belated Anniversay. Can't believe 19 years. Seems like yesterday-- it was a beautiful wedding, and yes-you looked so beautiful in your grandma's wedding dress, and Yann was so handsome. You both make a lovely couple--

I died laughing over here! Definitely a way to get a lot of comments!

I'm wishing you a belated anniversary Corey and Yann. I was remembering your wedding, it was at the golf course here in willows, food was good and there was alot of dancing.Many more. Love the photo,can't you see Doug doing something like that?
Tongue in Cheek Responds:
Julie is my cousin, we call her JULA!
I cannot see Doug doing the "love on a beach armoire trick..."
but I can see him doing "Honey-dos," and gee at the end of the day I
LLLLOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOVE "honey-dos!!"
Yann are you listening...???? Honey do?
Posted by:Julie Holvik | 11 January 2007 at 11:11 PM
Funny! All too often my significant other reads my blog to come back at me with constructive criticism or just plain BOOS! I just shrug it off... :)
Posted by:Michele | 11 January 2007 at 06:53 PM
Is the armoire FOR SALE ? ? ?
Tongue in Cheek responds: I will put a piece of cheese it in for you?
Posted by:Anonymouse | 11 January 2007 at 12:03 PM
Nice armoire!

Two people in love plus a sense of humor = heaven.

La felicità dell'amore.

I love it, love it, love it! You give me so much to aspire to as I start to plan my wedding. I have so many wonderful years ahead if they are anything like yours.
Posted by:Cherry Menlove | 10 January 2007 at 05:54 PM
Please pardon moi-
I forgot to wish you two lovebirds a belated Happy Anniversary!
(My anniversary post is "Sealed with a Kiss" and you can see why skiing is not my forte...)
Posted by:Gel | 10 January 2007 at 03:14 PM
The photo of your hunky grandfather is a classic "mug shot." This is what I call the shots of my family when I ask them to pose and try to elicit a smile or emotion. If one emerges, invariably, I'm laughing so hard, my camera shakes...even though I'm a professional photographer. So I have to resort to alternate methods.
As for that calendar, hahahah, you're a hoot!
Posted by:Gel | 10 January 2007 at 03:13 PM
ROFL You are too funny. The pic is great and he did a superb job of modeling. Happy Anniversary!
Posted by:Lisa | 10 January 2007 at 12:33 PM
Happy anniversary Corey, you two are so lucky to have found eachother! Yann is gorgeous!
Posted by:Carol | 10 January 2007 at 12:10 PM
Corey,
Happy anniversary to you and Yann.
After the armoire do we get to see more dancing?
;-)

I wouldn't buy a calandar with men in the photos (although your husband is a cutie), but I would buy one with your great photos from your blog--if you need something to do.
Posted by:Linda | 10 January 2007 at 09:57 AM
May you be blessed with endless years of growing Love.
I Love the sillyness that led to the picture =)
Tell Yahn he looks great for 70 (hee hee)
