35 years ago, today (Update #49
I looked deep into her eyes and, with pounding heart, said: "I do".
We knew it the instant we met.
I see her through the eyes of my youth. We still hold hands in the car. We sit next to each other when dining out. We still smooch in public. I catch myself watching her walk across a room and often look upon her face as she drifts off to sleep.
We text each other something mushy everyday followed by: "I love you".
She has made and still makes me ridiculously happy. I could not imagine a life without her.
Folks, these are what glad hearts look like:
Thanks for letting us share our joy with you.
R&R

Some of the best memories of a couple are not just the magic of their first few kisses but the magic they create every time they kiss for the rest of their lives. Happy anniversary.

It's an amazing thing that even the most curmudgeon among us have that one person that can brush those walls aside at will, and we should be thankful for that lest we be lost.
God bless the spouses!

We Italians equate EVERYTHING to food, and grandma would say "there is a cover for every pot". I'm glad you found your "cover".
I wish you both a very happy anniversary.

happy anniversary and congratulations to a wonderful couple. You to serve as a role model for the youngsters just getting started. It's a strong shared value system, a selfless love, and a life time commitment that is vital to a forever love. Slow to blame, quick to forgive and always, ALWAYS willing and able to talk and to listen.
You two obviously have all that going on. Very happy for y'all.

Even more bizarre! My sister got a jury notification letter today for the same civil case that Ruthie is asked to serve on.

Be glad for every day together. My parents just made it to 40 years married before Mom died from Lou Gehrig's disease.
I'm an old bachelor, so I'll have to make it to at least 101 years old to match what you've done.

Hi Rusty. Sorry I missed this on the day you posted it. My computer was broken down. Really.
Happy Anniversary to both of you! Best wishes for many happy returns on the day!

Thanks for all the kind words and warm wishes. Ruthie had to work Wednesday. She was off yesterday so we tossed the grandkids out and had a lovely, quiet anniversary dinner.
We talked while she helped me put together a 9 piece jigsaw puzzle of a clock.
She then got lucky. I fell asleep.
