Fred, This is fantastic. If you don't mind my asking, how old are you? My wife and I were married 31 years last week. Headed for 65....

Cheers,
Glenn F.

Congratulations to you both!

And I am glad to see you have not been intimidated by the Internet! There is a stereotype out there that older people (not you of course) can't learn newfangled stuff. Balderdash!

Congratulations! We are at 57 and counting.
Here's a poem about nostalgic looking back and feeling again the good life.

Tractor

The rusted Farmall
no longer red
rests on discouraged treads
wheels chained to the ground

When I reach the corroded seat
my hands are black with grime
and my legs hurt from the climb
but I see the fields again

ripe for the cutting
a hay wagon here for the haul
my father holding his pitchfork
in high salute.

by Ann M. DeVenezia

Congratulations, you must of been pretty well behaved to get to 65. I had a little trouble getting through the first half of 33, now I just nod my head and repeat yes dear.

Bonnan · Jun 8, 2016

Congratulations Fred & Jeanette!

Compared to you two we are "newlyweds" (will be 45 years for us in a couple weeks). We however have known each other 61 years. We met in kindergarten in 1955...

Old Scovy · Jun 8, 2016

Hey that's just great. Congratulations to you folks and many more. Some of us couldn't make it 65 Months. I don't know why as I was a good man. I worked hard and I stood up close and didn't dribble and I always put the seat back down, I just can't figure out why I got booted out. I am 77 years old now so I don't plan to ever try that again. LOL Good Luck to you folks ...Jack

Paul from MI · Jun 8, 2016

Congratulations--takes a lot of living to make 65 years together.

F.E.Bear · Jun 9, 2016

I am 85 and my wife is 84, and we courted for nearly 3 years. I went to school with some of her cousins and knew some of her aunts and uncles long before I knew her. It was (is) fun and I would do it all over again in a heart beat. We are still in love and pretty good health. Thank you to all of you folks for your good wishes.
