Today is our 41st wedding anniversary.

I can't believe we are this old. I can't believe we made it this far.

Let's hope we are all still around next year, and that the orange madman has not turned the planet into a smoldering cinder.
(What a thing to worry about on such a happy day)!

The time just flies by, doesn't it??? And I so understand your worry on such a happy occasion. The orange blob has really cast a pall over everything that used to be good. But I have a good feeling that it won't last past 2020. Enjoy your day and go ahead and celebrate!

Our 41st wedding anniversary is coming in about 2.5 months. Let's hear it for 1978 marriages!

All the best to the two of you on a very joyous occasion.

28. I always knew him.

He grew up on the farm on the corner around from me. I knew his family.

He went away to college and married someone else. So did I. I was widowed at 27. He was divorced. When we married, we were a bit (only a bit) older. I was thirty and he was thirty-four. We got married and raised a great family.
