Well, the 10th Anniversary is, in the Modern Gift calendar, “Tin/Aluminum.” In the Traditional Gift calendar, it’s “Leather.” Margie got a big grin on her face over that, but …
Anyway, for Margie, I got (well, suggested getting) a Treo 600 or 650, which is a combo cell phone/Palm PDA. This will be great for her because (a) she needs a new PDA, (b) she needs a new phone and plan, and (c) she keeps both in her purse. I don’t think she’ll be doing e-mail or web browsing through it, but it should be pretty keen for her. And if I get her a leather carrying case with it, that fits the anniversary!
Margie got me (or okayed getting) a new grill for the back deck, since the old one is more than showing its age, and is too small, too. Much shopping must ensue. And since most of the new grills have a separate burner, maybe an aluminum alloy pan would make it gift calendar appropriate!
And … I owe Margie a weekend out of town, or an overnight in a nice hotel, or something like that. Details TBD.
So … not the most romantic of gifts, but very us nonetheless.
Hey, if you cook the steaks in the grill long enough, it could also fit the “leather” requirement too!
