Today - 6 April 2018

Today is our 50th anniversary. Neither of us is going to have a lot of fun today. I've got a retreat that starts in a few hours and goes through tomorrow afternoon and my wife is taking my mother to lunch.

50 years into your sentence and still going strong. Wow, that’s incredible, huge congratulations

I wonder if I can last another 35 years before Mrs Van D throttles me.

50 wedding anniversary full of memories and more! Remarkable!
And wonderful that your mother is having a center seat on the occasion even if you aren't there...
Very special milestone, indeed.
