Fred and Sally's Happy Anniversary

"Up Where We Belong" by Joe Cocker and Jennifer Warnes from An Officer and a Gentleman, 1982

It's our wedding anniversary, not our band anniversary, although we are coming up on yet another anniversary of Fred Kimmel's Earth album launch on Happy Earth Day!🌎 Fred was kind enough to surprise me from work, calling me with his amazingly talented vocal students in the background to cheerfully wish me a Happy Anniversary with him! I've never experienced such sweet wishes in unison like a Happy Birthday in all the years we've been together. He and the girls made this day truly special, and I feel like our vows are renewed; THANK YOU!!💍🪐✨

For my leading man-beautiful and handsome beefcake, I would bake him his favorite cake (chocolate!) for this and every special occasion, especially every year on his birthday if I could, as well as, heck, jump out of a giant cake looking gorgeous and singing in person a breathlessly sexy a capella Stevie Wonder number if I could, but a cold, perfect picture of one such cake sans the real comfort of one actually made with these loving hands of mine will have to suffice for now. Dearest Fred, maybe I'll learn this potentially useful new talent requiring a certain kind of nerve and a sense of perfect timing by your next birthday or our next anniversary instead of trying to perfect an easy peasy Dump Cake (AllRecipes) which I actually made last month with canned peaches and yellow cake mix in the microwave. A word to the wise: Don't fill the microwave safe dish to the top, and use lots of paper towels over and under it because clean up is super sloppy. For the icing on the cake, listen to Fred Kimmel "Tomorrow Knows" from his album Earth on Spotify -- because with practice which takes real patience, Tomorrow Knows what we will all achieve in time!⏳ XOXO Love, Sali ❤️
