But the fact of the matter is the wife and I have been married 50 years today.
I can remember thinking in my younger years that I was going to be married 50 years and be 70 years old all in one short span and couldn't imagine living that long. Well half if it happened today. It will take to June to see if the other half makes it.

Here's a picture of the mrs. who obviously was remembering the song,
Put on you new Easter Bonnet with the blue ribbon on it
While I hitch old Dobbin to the sleigh
And through the fields of clover we'll ride up to Dover
On our Golden Wedding Day.
She couldn't find her hat with the blue ribbon tho.
