Dinner and Conversation

Had a wonderful dinner with my wife to celebrate our wedding anniversary. We went to a restaurant in downtown Allentown, the Bay Leaf. She was not in a good mood, a bit withdrawn. Her mother's recent death was still on her mind. The usual daily problems also were on her mind. After she had a chance to relax a bit he mood improved and we had a good conversation. The subject stayed mostly close to home. More than any particular thing we talked about, I was really happy that she had a chance to relax and that we had some time together away from everyday worries. It helps us reconnect. I'll make it a point to do that on a more regular basis.
