ReplyDeleteI love, love, love, to hear about anniversaries. They make me happier than weddings. Congratulations on a long love...may you wake up smiling at one another for many more years.
ReplyDeleteThey do look young to have hit 50 years! I'm assuming they are your parents? Congratulations to them! My parents had their 50th anniversary this year too, in May. 1959 must have been a good year for weddings. :)
ReplyDeleteBy the way, my parents paid $16,000 for their new home in Tempe, Arizona in 1965. Can you imagine? You can barely find a car for that now. And they still live in that house.
