Forty-Four Years


One this date I made a second attempt at marriage. There were certainly rough patches, but here we are.


My mother, father, brother I haven't heard from in over thirty years and seven year old Matthew. We are squinting into the sun.


Our friends and witnesses, Dan and Terri.


 I feel I shouldn't be forty-four, much less married that long.

  1. You are certainly as active as a much younger person. Happy Annie! I think your partnership is in a good place right now.

    1. We get along quite well, Boud. We aged like fine wine. Not smelly cheese!

  2. We don't count the years any more, because we don't feel "that" old!

  4. Happy anniversary! Amazing how fast time goes... everyone always says that but it's true. Which is probably why everyone always says that. LOL

  6. Happy anniversary!! Loved seeing the photos. Congrats on 44 years. My second marriage only lasted a year. You made a much better choice than I did, that's for sure--lol! How did we get this old? Time sure has felt like it has zipped by. Enjoy your day. :)

    1. My first lasted 3 years, Rita. Mark is a steady-eddy, which I needed.

  8. It is wonderful that you have a successful and happy marriage.
    That jacket is fantastic. The lines/structure of the outfit are outstanding, I think it is a timeless outfit . The hat is great, too. You were/are a beautiful woman.
    Stay Safe,
    Kaye

    1. I really liked the suit, Kaye. It's been long gone but even if I had it there not a chance it would fit! Those were the days. Thank you for your kind words.
