55 years

 We were married 55 years ago today.  

Here we are with our parents.  Far Guy's Mom was celebrating her 55th birthday that same day. 

It was cold...it was like -20 F  or -29 C that day.  Cold. That is what most people recall about that day. My baby brother said the other day " You remember how cold it was?  AND I had to haul gifts out of the church to the car!"

Happy Anniversary to us! 
We don't always agree, sometime we agree to disagree, but we are on the same team!

  2. Nice! Our real anniversary was a few days ago and that would have put us at 28 years. Since this marriage was our second time around for each of us, we don't get too excited about the anniversary. LOL. We got 'sentenced' in court with his parents as witnesses.

    We too are like you, we disagree with respect and usually give in to each other. I like our friendship, it has been amazing.

    Congratulations!
    Team work is the best in all parts of life.

  3. Congratulations on your anniversary! Looking at the picture and Far Guys mom.....My, how times have changed, 55 years old today certainly does not look like it did back then. I wonder what it will look like 55 years from now?!?!

  4. Happy anniversary!! 55 years is a wonderful milestone to reach. I love that photo! We got married in March, and it will be 48 years. We had the opposite kind of weather - 60 degrees. You just never know in this part of the world if March will still be winter and spring. We got spring.

  7. Happy Anniversary! Cold weather, warm hearts...right?
    I chuckled at Far Guy's mom being 55 that day. My mom always said she was 39 and holding.
