It’s Our Anniversary

Happy 47th Anniversary Celebration With Golden Confetti And ...

It’s our 47th anniversary today–47 years of wedded bliss. I overslept this morning–I think because it’s raining–and canceled my physical therapy session, incurring a penalty for not showing up.

Forty-seven years, Patty and me: that’s most of our lives. It seems like only yesterday we met at the old Bayshore Independent and started dating. Really, it does not seem that long ago. I’m told my face lit up like Christmas, the first time she mentioned Ecbatana, the ancient capital of the Medes’ kingdom. “Don’t you let this one get away,” my mother said. Best advice she ever gave me.

We’re going to rest, because this year’s been a hard one, going to watch a highly amusing documentary on art thefts and forgeries, and then have a bang-up supper.  You’re all invited, cybernetically speaking.

  1. Congratulations on your anniversary! Far too many couples do not make it these days. You two are to be admired for your faithfulness.

  2. Happy Anniversary! – and may you and Patty be blessed with many more happy anniversaries to come.

  3. My man and I will hit the 49 milestone in November. As I like to joke, it’s good that we still like being married to each other since we are both out of warranty.
