Yesterday, my husband and I attended an annual potluck barbecue, held annually at a picturesque and immaculate farm located just outside of town. The couple hosting the event was honored for celebrating their 60th wedding anniversary, and a special video was shown that featured Keith and Kay Lou sharing memories of their years together. We laughed and we cried. It was a wonderful tribute to a wonderful couple.
60 years! WOW! That's a long time! My husband will celebrate his 60th birthday his week, so Bill, this note's for you.
Dear Bill,
Can you believe we met almost 39 years ago? I was attracted to you partially because you were so much fun to be around. You had a crazy sense of humor, lots of friends, and lip-synced Elvis Presley's "Heartbreak Hotel," complete with dancing and cartwheels, years before lip-syncing was in style. Over the years, you've continued to add fun to my life. The Tuna Museum, Happy Jack Chalk Mine, Unclaimed Baggage Center, Holiday Day Inn "Guests of the Day," and "howsyurmomnem" rank high on my fun vacation memories. Times when the kids were growing up, like the "human leaf smashers," still bring a smile to my face. Even now, simply sharing a family meal is usually filled with laughter.
I'm anticipating 39 more years of craziness and chuckles! Thanks for sticking with me all these years.
I love you.
Jill
P.S. Happy 60th Birthday! Let's celebrate at our son's wedding this weekend. It should be fun!
