I'm Still Not Here

Thought for the day:   Our wedding was many years ago. The celebration continues to this day. [Gene Perret]

Okay, so this dudette isn't popping back just yet.

Know why?

Today is our FIFTIETH anniversary! Holy cheese and crackers, how in the world could that many years fly by so quickly, Batman...?

So needless to say, even after last week's adventures, we're still celebrating. (So sue us. We're old... it takes us longer! HA!)

                             
 I barely recognize those fresh young faces... but the feelings... they're stronger than ever.

                                                 (YES! I know how lucky we are.)

I'll be climbing back into the ol' blogging saddle again next Friday. I thought about turning the comments off, because I might not be around to respond, but what the heck? I'll leave 'em, just in case you have something scathingly brilliant to say. (You always do!) Please forgive me if I don't respond or pay a return visit to your blog. I'm, uh... celebrating.

                                 Until next time, take care of yourselves. And each other.

    Fifty years? We were 49th in March --ain't runnin' any race though. But I do miss our city's newspaper posting portraits of golden adversary --I mean anniversary-- couples in the social section (right after Sports pages). You were brave kids to get hitched deep in the previous century. Believe me, I know. So happy for you both!

    Still smiling after 50 years. Congrats. Kick up those heels or sit in the recliners. I bet cars, a movie or two, a museum, and some good eats have been on the docket for your celebration.
    Was this a brilliant enough comment? Cheers, my friend. Many more!

    Oh my gosh, Susan, it looks like we both had the same wedding veil. You look beautiful and Smarticus makes a very dashing groom.

    Congratulations. 50 years goes by so fast when you are having fun, and I am sure you both did.

    Can't resist a man in uniform eh? Heartiest congratulations on a rare achievement!
    Our own fiftieth is coming up at the end of the year. We've booked to go to Madeira for ten days.

    I came to Canada in 1982 cuz of love and thankfully Immigration Officer Januska heard our case and approved my immigrating to Canada. Many years later and 3 kids later and some difficult times ... I am still here ... Happy 50th anniversary, friend Sue. Much love, cat.
