Monday… Glad times and a special occasion, OUR 69th wedding anniversary…

 Picture of the day

Those young couples in 1956

The same couples in 2025 

This picture taken at Marian's 85th BD. She is the kid in the bunch and I am next. Dal and Sherry are the old folks.

BUT for now:

After today we will be working on being married 70 years. WE are not the only couple to be married this long, but we sure do know how to appreciate the fact that many marriages have been broken. Even worse, many loving people lose a mate, a partner, a lover and due to death their happiness was kicked in the teeth.

Just yesterday we spent some valuable time with Dallas and Marian Fletcher; friends who were married just one or two weeks after we were married. The two young married couples moved to Camp Geiger Trailer Park at Camp Lejune, NC.  WE became life long friends. Both coupes happily married.

Oh YES, My Sherry….

There is no way I can express how I feel about this lady I married. She was beautiful, that was obvious, but within a few weeks I learned she was also very smart, talented and a brave lady.  I am glad she kept me….

PS. 

Thanks for stopping by the Shipslog.   Proud you took the time to  humor an old guy! ;-)

We celebrated with Marian and she had a cake with 85 candles on it, what a sight.
