A Year And A Day

According to Wikipedia a year and a day has noted:

  • The period of a year and a day was a convenient period to represent a significant amount of time. Its use was generally as a jubilee or a permanence.

  • Historically (England) the period that a couple must be married for a spouse to have claim to a share of inheritable property.

  • In mediaeval (sic) Europe, a runaway serf became free after a year and a day.

  • When a judgement (sic) has been reversed a fresh action may lodged within a year and a day, regardless of the statute of limitations. U.S.

  • Today I add one more item because today marks a year and day since I met my beau. I think this fall under the first bullet point. Last night we celebrated by doing all of the things we did on our first date. As he said last night... now we can start counting in years. :-)

    So what exactly did you do on your first date? This blog could use some spicing up.

    Well, what we did wasn't spicy, just very sweet.
