And They Said It Wouldn't Last

...actually, some people were probably betting it wouldn't last. Some even were hoping it wouldn't. But it has.

Happy Anniversary!!

 

Amazing how quickly 20 years can go by. In the blink of an eye. But the memories have stacked up. They need to be pulled out a little more often, forgetting the rush of work and life today. :)

Thank you to my best friend. You make life fun and interesting. You allow me to be myself. And you help to make me a better person.

Here's to another 20.

    1. I like where your mind is at... But don't you think three apiece is enough? I will take the M&M's though. Peanut for him, peanut butter for me, coconut for you.

    1. Thank You! Someone on the radio said that the world didn't seem to care when people reached 20+ anymore. I still think it is a good thing. :) As for the M&M's, I do like the peanuts, but like the peanut butter ones a little more.

  5. To the Love of my life and Best Friend, It seems like only yesterday that we met and then a year later took that photograph :-) it's been one excellent adventure after another and I am looking forward to keeping up with you for another 20+++++ years. Thank you for your love, kindness, and adventurous spirit.

    1. Sweetie...that is almost the nicest thing you have ever said to me. ;) (I still would have been happy with a "Thank You". hehehe)

      As usual...one small correction. It was two years later. :)

    2. Oil-Burner:

      I do love that photo. All women do this, but Oh No, instead of being gratuitous and just saying "Thank You" they have to show you that they remember everything.

      I know just keep your mouth shut for another 20 years to maintain marital harmony

      congratulations on your first Twenty

    1. Thanks Richard. Yeah...thanks for pointing the glasses out. hehe. Aren't they horrid? At least they were wire frame. My first job I went to get the wire frames, get away from those huge plastic ones.

    1. Thank You David! Hmm...I'm not surprised you're not sure where yours are just yet. But I will expect a different response in a couple months. :) Though...that photo is tucked behind the light switch plate in the kitchen. So we see it every day. :)
