Anniversaries and Birthdays

My parents have been married 68 years today. 

Mom and Dads anniversary 2018  68 years

We took them out for lunch one day last week…and I took a photo.

They are still able to live in their own home and care for themselves.  Mom keeps busy sewing and cooking and Dad works in the yard (he grew potatoes and tomatoes in his garden) he also does some woodworking and goes to Bingo once a week with me.

This is a photo that was taken a few days after they were married.

October is their month, they both have birthdays within days of their anniversary.  Dad will be 92 and Mom will be 89.  Happy Birthday and Anniversary week to them!

  12. Yes, be very thankful that you still have them! I'm having trouble keeping a garden at almost 67 and they still put in a few crops is amazing! I guess it keeps you young? Happy Anniversary to them both! Sharon

  27. 68 years of marriage - wow, what a milestone! Congrats to your parents, and cute pic of them.

  28. That's quite a milestone! Love seeing them together, after the wedding and recently. So glad they are still together and able to live in their own home! My parents' wedding anniversary was Oct 4. I think it would have been 66. Unfortunately they both died in 2004. But I think they celebrate their anniversary together anyway...just further away than I wish they could be.
