39 YEARS & COUNTING.....
Chris & I have now been "happily everaftering" (as Paul Harvey said) for 39 years now.In this day & age, that's some kind of a record. AND living in close "qurters" with my sweetie last summer on our Alaskan Adventure for 3 months and still be married at the end, has got to be a record in its own.
To think of all we've done and places we've been over those years...6 children....20 grandchildren. Chris has been to all 50 states of the Union. And come to think of it, the only state I have doubts that I've been there is Alabama & Arkensas. Probably was there, too, just don't remember. Anyway....back to reminiscing. We gave driven from Main to California and to Alaska...but not all at the same time. We've built a house, remodeled houses, traveled to basketball games, coached teams, been scoutmaster and troop leader for Boy & Girl Scouts, been to high school & college graduations in the heat, cold, and wind, had many dogs and various animals, raised pups, and babied geriatric dogs, chased a loose cow in the desert, and butchered an elk in our kitchen. Our walls of our home now look like a museum of our ancestors, extended family, children & grandchildren. It definitely looks like a home of folks with a history.
And looking to the future...tomorrow I see the retinologist in Ft. Wayne. I hope I find out more about my eye and also hope to have the physical restrictions I have lifted. Prayers, please.
So, until we connect again....
