A Scrumptious Date in Atlanta

pink flower power
down each green sleeve
my sweater for Valentines weather

each item was to die for
first the peachy concoction
bites of wrapped shrimp
the sizzling fajitas

O the stuffed churros
the sweetest, dusted with fine powders
of cinnamon sugar and dipped
in caramel, chocolate and whipped cream

now this was a scrumptious date
the anniversary of the day we met
46 years ago.

So, we both got married almost the same time. We celebrated our 47th Wedding anniversary on Feb 11th. Your festive dinner sounds so sumptuous and mouth watering. Belated Anniversary greetings, dear Kim.
