Our 53rd Wedding Anniversary

March 26,1960

         

I wrote this piece last year on our 52nd Anniversary so I'm just updating it as I don't think many people got to read it. It was on another blog.

It was a cool,gray, end of March kind of day in Watford , England and anyone who has lived in the British climate will know what I mean.But on this date March 26 1960( how far away that sounds) to two people very much in love  the sun was shining. It was our wedding day and at that time we would never realize that 52(53) years later , again the sun would be still be shining but for real as only it can do in Texas.(Actually it was freezing here this morning)

Now we would be in a land far away, having  lived in England, Canada and now in Texas. During that time we have bought different houses and cars , seen many different places , had our family and seen them grow up with all the happiness and sadness, hope and happenings and laughs that brings.
But on this special day we remember each other and our special day and it brings us joy .Instead of cards we brought each other two red rose bushes. Let us hope they last , like us well into the future. Unfortunately they didn't! the drought last summer did them both in!

Our Best Man Roger and his wife Lydia sent us this lovely card from England and knowing how we potter in the garden it was oh just right in many ways. So thanks Roger and  everyone else  for your best wishes . They have meant a lot to us over the years .
