Something for the Ages
We had a nice Thanksgiving dinner at a restaurant in Clearwater Beach with Judy's folks, Bill and Florence Flaherty. Nothing unusual about that except this year the folks were celebrating 70 years of wedded bliss.
We had such a great time, we agreed to do it again every 70 years.
I'm coming up on 35 years but 70 is simply amazing!!! Let's see, in another 35 years I'll be......let's just say I'll be a few years old than Bill is now. Congrats!!!

Wow! Seventy years with the same person! Imagine that.
ReplyDeleteThese look like two very happy people. What a great Thanksgiving you had! Just out of curiosity, how old are Bill and Florence?
Dad turned 90 last February; Mom was 89 in June. They seem as happy as they look in that picture. We should all be so lucky.
ReplyDeleteThis tickles me pink to see photos like this. It's all about being loved and being loving, good genes, and a healthy lifestyle.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the happy-people-picture, Ev.
Married before Pearl Harbor was attacked and still going strong. Wow! Now that’s something to brag about.
