I well remember thinking there was no way we would see our 50th since Bob would be 80 and that would be ancient. He looks pretty good to me these days. I believe he should easily make it to 80.Lindahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11586429675286969340noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2643182421561288851.post-40085491875941825542011-08-20T17:23:34.986-07:002011-08-20T17:23:34.986-07:00I loved this post.

You had me totally laughing at your comparison to how long you've been married. Congratulations!<br /><br />Times have really changed in 40 years, and I guess you and your spouse have to, but isn't nice to know that you have made it in spite of the limitations that the priest tried to put on you? I could just see you asking that question. Here's to many more years together.Sally Wesselyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06470453773515491625noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2643182421561288851.post-73464073783423283032011-08-20T17:07:43.397-07:002011-08-20T17:07:43.397-07:00Oh well.

So lovely and so evocative of a very different time. My husband and I -- who married in a public park in 1977 with a non-denominational minister dressed in monk's robes (so as not to scandalize the Catholics in the family) -- laugh when we look at our wedding pictures and how much hair he used to have, too! I hope you break precedence and have a nice celebration tomorrow!Dr. Kathy McCoyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02903015507894951725noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2643182421561288851.post-69021449421666659132011-08-20T11:15:23.380-07:002011-08-20T11:15:23.380-07:00Thank you for all your good wishes.
