    If you ask DH, he will say "too long."

    If you ask me, I will say "It's too much bother to catch and train a new one."

    But we still reach for each other's hands for a bit before we go to sleep. I smile every time when we do.

    I have ben Married 42 years got married on Valentines Day 1974. Then Valentines day were not like today, presents weekends, flowers candy etc. If you got a card that was something and flowers over the top. Dinner rare. I got married on a Thursday everyone said you can not get married during the week. We were going to a small church candles light the windows. My dad had to walk behind me the isles was not enough for my dress and him. It only held 50-70 people. One 2 Sunday school rooms and adult stay in church for Sunday school. We had a Pastor came from a School were pastors were in college, hour away. I have pictures were my Dad Mom and father were in from of church with horse and buggy. They would get baptized in the river. It over 200 years old now and still there. I still love that day but wish Valentines day was not so about what you get and how much you get etc. My sister had 2 big weddings for me I like small family friends and a nice little honey moon. Everyone needs to have what makes their day. The candles in the windows, back room food and pictures by a friend, and a car so decorated with hearts, roses, streamers - people falling us out of town - and on the mountains for us. Oh my dress I borrowed from a friend
    it even had hoops under it. Had it cleaned and packed to give back to her. Lots of love when into it all. One more thing we all talk about my husband had to have a velvet red and black trim tux. Not my choice but made him happy.

    We have been married this past May for 54 yrs...when I met him, he said he was 21 and his dad was a preacher...I told him I was going steady, and he said, Well, if you haven't married him yet, you never will...but did give him my phone number...I found out later, he was 27, and his dad had died when he was 16...needless to say, he was a little tipsy that night...Did wind up getting married after 3 months and 20 days...and everyone thought it wouldn't last...well 54 years later, and now he's 82 and I love him the same as the night I met him...I was 19 and back in 1962, they put your names and ages in the paper when you applied for a marriage license, I ask them not to post mine, cause I thought he was so old at 27 and I didn't want my mom to know how old he was...well, I shouldn't have worried about that...he still takes care of me...and my mom loved him till she passed away...at 93...
