My then boyfriend was at my parents' house during the summer, where I lived at the time. We were sitting in the backyard hanging with friends. My mom had outdoor lights that were parrots hanging under the outdoor umbrella and on the clothesline. My mom worked the late shift back then and was getting ready for work around 10pm. My boyfriend went into the house to tell her how much he liked her 'bird' lights. I had no idea he had said this to her, but the next day, my mom told me about it and she was so impressed that a guy would compliment her outdoor lights. I chuckled and to this day we always joke about his comment to her. But it impressed me as well. 

Last February, we celebrated 34 years of marriage.
