    Our 44th Wedding Anniversary..............

    Yesterday one of our adult granddaughters arrived with her 6 year old daughter and her 22 month old daughter to spend Christmas with us.

    Today Sharon and I celebrate our 44th wedding anniversary with them.

    I met her on a blind date....3 days later on our 4th date I asked her to marry me. She was a young blond divorce with 2 kids from her former marriage. 9 days later I signed over my checking and savings accounts when I left for the US Navy boot camp. 2 days after I got home from boot camp we were married. A couple years later I adopted those 2 kids and we had 1 more.....

    She puts the bright colors in my life.......she makes me smile........she makes me look down and shake my head......she is mother to our 3 kids......grandmother to our 8 grandkids....great-grandmother to our 6 great-grandkids....she is my lover......my best friend.......she is my worst critic........she's gives me reason to want life to last forever......she makes me smile........

    I don't know what I did to deserve her........I won't ask.....I will just be forever grateful she is in my life.....
    Ken

    So much to learn, so little time.....

    Congratulations to both of you! It is a blessing when you find the “right” person to share your life with.

    A very happy anniversary and a Merry Christmas to both you and Sharon. May the two of you enjoy a coming year less hectic than this one has been.
