You may have thought from the title of this post that I was going to show you a card trick.
52 being the number of cards in a deck of playing cards.
But no, it's something else entirely.
It's the number of years that I have known the lady who stands by my side.
Exactly 52 years ago today, in Indianapolis, Indiana, I met a beautiful young lady known as Judy.
I fell instantly in love.
And 89 days later we were married, beginning a long and adventurous life together.
Over the years she has morphed into many things.
Nature lover
Barefoot beach visitor
Mexican sailboat passenger
Tree hugger
Wine lover

Art appreciator
Always a friend to cats
World Traveler with some lout in Monaco in '85
Amused by Beautiful Bruno in a tavern in Innsbruck, Austria

Stunning a Christmas party in Guadalajara, Mexico
There are many, many more images and memories I could share.
Let me just say that it's been a wild and wonderful ride.
A great deck of cards, one might say.
What a lovely tribute.
ReplyDeleteHappy Anniversary! Love that mod cut in pic #1! And nice new header.
ReplyDeleteCongratulations, you make a fine couple. Here's to more years together!
ReplyDeleteAn excellent deck of cards indeed! You were fortunate to have found each other and have certainly enjoyed these past 52 years.
ReplyDeleteHappy 52nd to both of you.
ReplyDeleteSo glad I got to enjoy part of that 52 with you both!
ReplyDeleteHappy 52nd anniversary of true love.
ReplyDeleteWhat a happy day for both of you!
ReplyDeleteCongratulations!
ReplyDeleteThe way you have honored your wife with these pictures is nobel, indeed. ....and, many more!
ReplyDeleteQuite a tribute!
ReplyDeleteHappy 52...you have a lovely partner there. ((Hugs )) to the both of you!
ReplyDeleteThis is a lovely tribute to Judy and your happy life together. You are a soft-hearted kind of guy Bruce. Maybe that is what Judy liked about you. In contrast, hat shifty fellow in Monaco looks like a Russian spy. I wonder what secrets SWMBO was exchanging with him
ReplyDeleteCongratulations for 52 years. Nice comparison with the cards.
ReplyDeleteI loved all the heart that went into this post! Just love it. Cheers, Ivy.
ReplyDeleteShe is beautiful, and you must be quite a 'lout' to not only capture her affections, but to keep them for 52 years. Congratulations.
ReplyDeleteI'm so happy for you both. Congratulations. ❤️
ReplyDeleteAnd fence artist! She deserves a medal :)
ReplyDeleteHappy 52 to you! This is such a nice tribute to a beautiful lady.
ReplyDeleteThis is so sweet! Congrats on 52 years together - how lucky you are!
ReplyDeleteSuch a lovely post. You two are so lucky to have found each other and to have so many adventures and good times.
ReplyDeleteHappy Anniversary to you and Judy!
ReplyDeleteYou two are double we two
ReplyDeleteShe really is beautiful, inside and out I'd say. A wonderful woman. I'm glad you found each other.
