45 years

It is our 45th wedding anniversary today! 

old hands

Old hands chapped and worn with a few crooked fingers…some that work and some that don’t.  Best friends hands…sometimes the hands carry silent messages…communication at its best. 

wedding Bouquet

Young hands ready to start a new life together.

Gosh it seems like only yesterday… but here we are two children and five grands later.

Growing older sucks some days…but for the most part we have been blessed.

Very nice post! Happy Anniversary! It's a celebration when two people stay together thru thick and thin, sickness and health and all that. It's something for your children to try and follow in your footsteps, too. Hopefully, they will be successful like you.

CONGRATULATONS for your wedding anniversary! Your hands look okay to me! Not much aging there it seems to me. Those hands have done a lot of good and useful things over the years. I love that wedding picture of your two hands together. That is what marriage is about..

I am simply honored to be a part of your world, you two! Congratulations on your anniversary, and thank you for taking up blogging so that I could find you and be enriched. I don't think if I added up all four of my marriages together it would make 45 years. So I am really impressed! Sending you both virtual hugs. :-)

Awwhhh - - - so very, very sweet! Your hands do amazing things every single day and accomplish LOTS! We are all blessed because of the typing and camera clicking they do. Sure hope you and Far Guy have a phenomenal celebration!
