50 years ago today


Life Partner!

Glad I have one.
Hard to remember life before this day 50 years ago.
So many happy, sad, difficult experiences ahead for the couple in this picture.

How many more joys and sorrows are ahead for them?
How many changes?
How many anniversaries?


A reflective day.

Well done you two. Great photo. Happy anniversary! Have a great day!

Susan said...

I knew you were a child bride - I now have photographic evidence! Here's to hoping that the rest of your years together are spent happily.

Michelle said...

It's a good thing we can't foresee the future; I don't think many of us would have the courage to continue. Congratulations to both of you; I hope you have many more!

John - thank you

Michelle - You are so darn right!

Susan - I was 22 when we got married. Still too young . I always look way younger than my actual age. Four years after this picture was taken, and I had a new baby, my husband and I were out at a fair and there were various political candidates meeting and greeting attendees. One candidate turned to me (my husband was holding our son and I wore my long hair in two pigtails - American Indian style) and he said - oh you are not old enough to vote and turned to my husband. I was 26 then. Ha!

Marie Smith - Thanks.
