49 and Counting...

This is truly hard for me to fathom:

it has already been 

17,898 days,

roughly 429,567 hours

since Bill and I married

way back

 49 years ago, 

on April 15, 1967.  

Seems like it was yesterday, doesn't it, dear?

April 15, 1967 ~ Louisville, KY

We were both young things 

in our early 20’s 

when we married 

and life has been 

good to us ever since.

Hawaii - 2001

It makes me happy that 

I found and married 

such an 

optimistic ~ loving ~ kind 

 husband 

with a witty sense of humor 
that cracks me up daily.

He's a caring father 

for our 2 magnificent sons, 

plus a 
caring grandfather for our 

adorable groovy 
5-year-old grandson.

Bill, Jr.

Matt

2004 ~ Tucson

2005 ~ Riviera Maya, Mexico

 2007 ~ 40th anniversary renewal vows in Las Vegas, with Elvis "officiating." 

The sun was very bright in this pic, but had to include it because of Elvis' pose!

2008 ~ Las Vegas

2010 ~ Springfield, KY

2013 ~ near home

We will be celebrating it low-key this year, with a delicious dinner at a favorite restaurant here in the Chicago area:  filet mignon for me, strip steak for him, with all the trimmings…

Toasting to our 49 years 

of wedded bliss

and Income Tax Day!
