ANNIVERSARY

      Yes folks, today is our 57th anniversary. 

      The very poor quality photos are from Nov of 1965 when the great decision was made that we would marry. We were married May 21 1966. 


      My Mom always bugged us about the date of May 22 because her birthday was May 20 so why didn't we get married on her birthday? Anyway Mom would have been 109 yesterday.

  5. My parents bugged us about our wedding date of May 15th, right in the middle of planting season even if I reminded them that on that particular year when we married, they finished the week before May 15th!

    Happy Anniversary!

  10. Happy anniversary! My first wife's birthday is May 20th and we exchanged greetings about it yesterday. She said she doesn't want any more birthdays as she just turned 86! But, she said, they just keep coming. And we have good friends who decided to marry while spending a New Year's Eve in our Phoenix home 45 years ago. Their 45th anniversary also was yesterday.

    My Mum and Dad married the day before Mother's Day which is of no consequence except it helps me to remember their anniversary

  24. Very belated Happy 💐 Anniversary wishes to you both - 57 years is an accomplishment to be very proud of for sure! Hope you did something "special" to celebrate. We do that for both the anniversary of our first date (May) and our actual wedding date (August).You can never have too many of these special reasons.
