Happy Anniversary

Abbeysdad · 09-08-12, 08:32 AM

39 years ago today (1973) I was trying to calm the nerves of my best man...who couldn't believe I wasn't nervous. Following the reception, we drove to Lake George. Since I was a high roller in those days (and still), we had a late dinner at the Dairy Queen. We stayed at Scottys motel on the lake. I unintentionally turned the heat in the room off that first night and we woke up freezing cold!

We have faced a lot together over the years ... serious illness, financial woes and more, but managed to survive stronger and better. Such is life's training ground.

"Loved her then, loved her still....always have, always will."

With a recent trip and other events, we've eaten out so much lately, so instead of going out to dinner tonight, I'm cooking steak, shrimp and a couple of lobster tails.
(sorry, private party - the restaurant is closed!)

You found your best friend when I was only 12.
Wow that is really neat!

Springing for Taco Bell tonight or Chucky Cheese?

Any couple that is knocking on their 40th anniversary must be doing something right. Congrats to the both of you. I hear what your saying too. If you really love each other, adversity only makes you stronger.
