Here is what 35 years looks like:
June 7, 1980

June 6, 2015

Tomorrow we celebrate our 35th wedding anniversary.
I asked Ray tonight what he’s liked about our marriage.
His response: “The fun.”
Oh, yes, we have had fun.
He added,”The kids, too.”
Ah, yes, the kids. What could have been better?
I am a lucky woman.

Happy Anniversary Len, and Ray. You are both lucky and make a wonderful couple, then and more so now. ❤ ❤ ❤
Lucky is right, Tess. And thanks for that nice compliment about our looks. A few changes over all those years.
Happy anniversary! What a great- looking couple!
Thank you, Sam. That was Ray’s first time in a bowtie. I think it suits him!
Smiling then, smiling now. What’s 35 years? Congratulations, dahlinks.
Thanks, Ann. A few ups and downs along the way, but the smiles are genuine. I suppose we are a bit more tolerant now than we were then, though at the time we thought we were tolerant!
I wish you a Happy Anniversary & many more years of wedded blitz.
