DERA ABBY: I am 81 years old; my wife is 76. We have been married 52 years. My wife recently decided that we were not having enough "together" time. So she went to her appointment calendar and drew big red hearts around all the Wednesdays. Our Wednesdays are now our together time. We use it to sightsee, to visit a museum or go to the library to research genealogy, to have a picnic or try a new restaurant. But mostly it's just about being together. Every week is beautiful because we have a "heart day" to look forward to. -- LOVING WEDNESDAYS, CHESHIRE, MASS.
DEAR LOVING: I suspect that every week is beautiful because you still have and appreciate each other.
