Our Wedding Anniversary

Hello, Dear Friends, 

I hope you had a lovely weekend! 

My Ramblin' Man and I celebrated 

our 43rd wedding anniversary! 

Here we are all those years ago, 

looking bright-eyed and innocent.

Well, maybe I looked innocent! 

*smile*

Ramblin' Man always had a little gleam

in his eye! 

One of the reasons why I fell in love with

him was his fun-loving nature. 

And his beautiful, sincere, blue eyes. 

He always brings me roses.

We exchange heartfelt cards. 

And tell each other all the reasons

why we love each other. 

It's nice to be reminded <3

We celebrated with a favorite treat....

Chinese take-out

and then watched a movie. 

'Australia'

We had never seen it. 

(It was a long movie and hard to follow,

but the scenery and clothes were wonderful.)

My Dear Mother and Father's 

wedding anniversary was also in September. 

They were married 58 years
and are now together in eternity. 

Here are my Grandparents, 

Beatrice Euphemie and John Leo

on their wedding day. 

They survived the Great Depression, 

WW11, and raised 8 children. 

My paternal Grandparents, Edith and Daniel,

 also experienced the same, raising

8 children during the depression. 

Sadly, I don't have a photo of their wedding day. 

My Grandfather died when I was an infant, 

at only 50 years old. 

Through these examples, we have 

learned what it takes to keep an enduring marriage. 

It's not always easy, 

but I have the perfect recipe! 

Recipe for a Happy Marriage

Take 2 heaping cups of patience, 

1 heartful of love,

2 handsful of generosity,

a dash of laughter,

1 headful of understanding.

Sprinkle generously with kindness,

add plenty of faith and mix well. 

Spread over a period of a lifetime

and serve with love <3
