Hello, Dear Joanne,
I just sent you an epic-length reply but it didn't appear on the Forum, so maybe it ended up on somebody's "How to Grow a Perfect Lawn" or "History of Beer" web site instead.
But in answer to your very kind question, this is my 6th flush, so you are 1.5 cups of OO (Olive-Oil) ahead of me, Yum!
Your story about your husband was a delight. "Honey, there's a surprise in the freezer!" Imagine that as a TV commercial? "This anniversary, surprise her with a big rock." So often, one person wants to make a positive change, and then finds that his or her own family or spouse are upset by the change and want them to change back. It's lovely to think that you are your husband are supporting each other like this. What a romantic marriage encounter weekend that was!
Many happy returns,
Blessings,
Autumn
