    One of the most endearing sights in the world is the vision of a naked good-looking woman leaving the bedroom to make breakfast. Bolivar Shagnasty (I believe that Lazarus Long also said it, but I can't find any record of it.)

    Congratulations it's only 34 for me. How is it possible that one thing you do in your life can be both the best thing that you ever did, in addition to being the hardest job you'll ever have? That being said, I wouldn't change a thing!

    Making good choices makes it easier, but it's what you make of it. Congrats to all the long timers and those on their way.
    At 22 I had no idea what lay ahead, but 54 years later I realize it was meant to be.

    Mrs smoked turkey and I want to congratulate you guys on a real accomplishment. I remember what Paul Harvey used to say after he read of couples who had made it a long time. He said. "Their not all slip knots". You have each found a wonderful treasure. May the Lord continue to bless you.
    Mark 5:34 And He said to her (Jesus speaking), "Daughter, your faith has made you well. Go in peace and be healed of your affliction."

    BTW

    my parents made it to their 65th Aniversary before Dad passed. Mom made it 13 more years without him. She had diabetes and MS for over 40 years in a wheelchair, and finally surcomed to undiagnosed cancer at 92.
    They both had close relatives that lived past 100. Mom's Sister was still driving at 97 and lived to see 104.
    Don't think I'll make it that far.
