for me---History was made on Sept 24

to start, I was brought up a Mennonite and a bit like the Amish, was taught not to toot your own horn. However I just can't keep quiet on this one.
Last Sat. (sept. 24) was our 50th wedding anniverary. I was sick with migraine for several days before and during, so didnt get my wife (Shirley) anything, not even a card or flowers, Then she gave me a very nice diamond ring, that eve we had dinner with our 5 kids and spouses and at least most of the grand kids, 2 of which are in the Army and due to be deployed to Irak (sp) very soon.

this was an awesome 'fishing trip' and I caught the best one and a true Keeper. she also likes to fish, but still works full time, so I have to fend for myself. nuff said, thanks for listening.

Congradulations on those 50 years. That is really great to have the whole family together like that.

Happy 50th & keep rolling them up...I would say she is a "KEEPER"....

Doesn't the fisherman's prayer say he hopes he's good enough to keep? Congrats to the both of you on your 50 yrs. Hope you have 50 more

and also hope the best for your 2 grands going to Iraq.

Congrats. Is that near Saybrook? My email friend Charlotte lives on about the high point around there. 1 mile east.
