Congrats on your an...Hope you are feeling better. <br /><br />Congrats on your anniversary. My hubby and I were married Nov. 1970. I was still in high school and he in the Army. And yea we heard it wouldn't last. Something I would never tell anyone.<br /><br />Love the pictures of you and your hubby. <br /><br />Don't believe anyone about the retirement thing. My hubby and I haven't driven each other crazy yet. (Did I tell you we are waiting for the birth of grandchild 2?) We do all sorts of things together even if it is just me riding to the farm supply store with him. I love retirement. I haven't had time to do all the things on my list, but there is plenty of time for it all.Reneehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09311983276096551905noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5434601505681405514.post-74262746854091230412013-04-04T14:05:48.318-07:002013-04-04T14:05:48.318-07:00That is wonderful to hear about your long marriage...That is wonderful to hear about your long marriage together. It sounds like y'all are still going strong and made a good decision(even in your youth) to be together. Don't you just love proving people wrong? Do you have bursitis? You mentioned pain and a cortizone shot with rest and no walking. I get it in my hip from time to time and can relate to the pain. Mine usually goes away with rest though. Hope you are feeling better now!Kellyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16938178631385143773noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5434601505681405514.post-83019641808868782232013-04-04T10:50:42.614-07:002013-04-04T10:50:42.614-07:00I sorry you awoke to so much pain and I hoped it h...I sorry you awoke to so much pain and I hoped it has eased off now, but it was lovely to hear about your happy life together through all those years!<br />Sarah xDown by the seahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06148800326418238027noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5434601505681405514.post-26096797246589377382013-04-04T09:33:30.543-07:002013-04-04T09:33:30.543-07:00I enjoyed reading your love story. :-)
