40 YEARS
So hubby and I are celebrating 40 years tomorrow. We are taking a 4 days at a Hilton in Saratoga Springs. We spent 7 years dating prior to that. In essence we grew up together. We have 2 wonderful kids (adults). 10 years ago he bought me the house I wanted even though he swore he would never own a Cape Cod. It has beautiful hard wood floors. His new thing is to tell me to pick out something nice for myself for birthdays, anniversaries, Valentine's Day and even Christmas (though he usually goes shopping with my daughter for Christmas). So with this I got a pool, a rose gold diamond ring and many outfits for work. Lately we have begun enjoying staying home more than traveling. We do enjoy steak & lobster dinners.
Good health to all.
No Politics
I'm baaaack!!!!!
congrats!
Merci beaucoup.
I can count the number of people that can still stand me after 40 years on 1 hand and 3 of them are my kids ...
Very happy to see that .
I'm happy to someone is happy to see me.
Welcome back & happy anniversary. Best wishes to you
I'm glad to hear you got a room at the Saratoga Hilton during the month of August. Something I could never accomplish.
[✘] Congrats and welcome back.
Morning... congratulations...40 years a wonderful achievement in this day and age...
Health, wealth and happiness to you both..❤️❤️
Thank you. The pic is adorable.
I'm guessing Hubby is the one in the white gown.
Congrats on the Cape Cod style house ... they always fit into just about whatever surrounds them. If it creaks, even better!
Actually he wore a silver tux and I wore a white gown. I wanted to wear a white tux with a white top hat, but my dad wouldn't allow it. So I spent $2500 on a dress I wore once.
we eloped, then we went and had breakfast ...
If I had to do it over that is what I would have done. I specifically told my kids and my sister "DO NOT through us a party for our 40th". I just wanted to get away.....
we'd lived together almost 5 years by the time we eloped, making me persona non gratis to her dad, until last april ...
when he croaked ...
I was wondering why since April.. didn't dawn me he had carked it..😬
he hung in there till his mid 90's, but he got pneumonia and it was all over in less than a month. left everything to the ex and her 2 sisters, they're all estranged now. he hasn't known who I was for 5 years. thank god I'm no longer involved with that relentless unpardonable life sentence of a soap opera. adored the ex mother in law and vice versa, and she was the first one to openly express hatred towards me before we were married/grandkids. luckily as you know, I have so much charm and charisma, I eventually won most of them over.
Oh please...so much charm and charisma..pass the bucket while I chunder..🤣🤣
It's sad when you see what goes on in some families...and worse when you get dragged into it..becomes exhausting and mind numbing.
I have been lucky nothing like that in my family, but in other rellies I know money has been the downfall and who hates who..what a life...
Glad you are out of it now and it frees the spirit..see if you lived on a sand bar don't have to worry about such things..😁
prepare the guest room, I'll hold my nose when I gag down the vile vegetable spackle ...
Huh guest room!!..not here you will be out in the shed along with the possums and anything else that happens to go by...
We have standards to maintain and free loaders don't quite qualify for comfort...
I thought you needed help with the 24/7 on-call feline service ...
what are you, the oz welcome wagon? can't you just play along and put a snake in my bed when I fall asleep?
Morning...pssst snake in the bed.. that's so old school..
Nope I tend to be more creative..a Huntsman on the face while you're asleep.. that's more my style...and I would make sure a camera is nearby to record your reaction..
Awww he has a cute little face, don't you agree?
that's 2 paper towels and leave the shoe outside for the night size ...
Happy Anniversary!
Thank you.
Congratulations and have a great time at Saratoga Springs
