Yes, it's our 49th wedding anniversary.
Our good friend, Timmer, sent us an email noting the exact number of days and, later, I found the picture above on the web.
Here's the proof.
It seems like a long time ago, seen through a haze in the far off distance of yesteryear.
Well, no, it wasn't quite that long ago.
I have no photograph of the first day of our married life together.
The earliest is this photo, taken a short time later outside our home in Indianapolis.
Yeah, I know what you're thinkin': "Wow, what a natty dresser."
Or not.
We've had a life probably a lot like any others' with some ups and some downs.
But we've always tried to have fun.
This is the goofy couple at a Christmas Eve or New Year's Eve celebration when we lived in Guadalajara, Mexico in 1987.
Like everyone else, through the years we have aged.
Surely I jest.
But we have traded our darker hair color for the silver of advanced years.
I've told Judy, "Just one more year. Then you can do whatever you want."
But in the meantime . .
Love yuh, darlin'.
