Amazing, really. I can&#8217;t believe that it&#8217;s been twenty years already. Blink of an eye for sure. We went to the Chesapeake Seafood House for dinner; we&#8217;d gone there on the evening of our very first date. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size wp-block-paragraph\">We&#8217;d actually gone to lunch at Incredibly Delicious so many years ago and it went so well, and the next day Kevin was about to go somewhere and do a triathlon, so I think I suggested that we go out to dinner on the very same night, because why not?  <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size wp-block-paragraph\">This time we went super early because we were so hungry and I got lobster because I never, ever get lobster.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"400\" height=\"587\" src=\"https:\/\/graceuncensored.com\/WordPress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/s41.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-23345\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size wp-block-paragraph\">A good time was had by all, and Kevin surprised me with a beautiful emerald necklace.  Wow, and emerald!  It&#8217;s the gemstone of the 20th anniversary and it&#8217;s also my birthstone so I was doubly happy to get it.  Here I&#8217;m wearing it with another beautiful heart necklace he bought me a few years ago.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"400\" height=\"533\" src=\"https:\/\/graceuncensored.com\/WordPress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/s42-1.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-23347\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size wp-block-paragraph\">Amy, Mom and I went to the art fair at the Carillon one Saturday and the weather was ideal and we had a delicious lunch afterwards at La Piazza downtown.

Les continues to decline and we continue to worry about him.  When we called the vet to tell her that Les seems to be on the way out, she said he can eat whatever he wants, so at least there&#8217;s that.
