Fifty years ago today we left the Queen City of the Ozarks in my old Chevy, headed for Kentucky to elope. The writer of Proverbs wisely said,
"Whoso findeth a wife findeth a good thing,
and obtaineth favour of the Lord."
How true! I am a blessed man.
This morning she gave me a card saying, "Marriage has been linked to better health and longer life for a variety of reasons - not the least of which is, you lasted all these years without killing each other." :-)
I gave her a new ring.
She gave me a pristine boxed set of the first 2 decades of the DGJ.
Lots of love and lots of gratitude here today.

Congrats. She’s still smiling, did you mention that you’re taking her back to the picture place for dove season? Many, many more.

Congrats Show-Me;
My wife & I just made 59 in March. From your pic though we are a mite older than the two of you.
Saying the Ozarks reminded me of what a former co-worker told. I was an apprentice machinist & he was nearing retirement. Anyway prior to entering the machinist trade he had driven a truck for a while. He was from Arkansas & was working from there. Was on a run & a young girl was on the roadside hitchhiking, so he stopped & picked her up. They chatted as he drove on down the road & she told him she simply could not get along with her parents & was running away from home. Somewhere on about a couple of hundred miles down the road they stopped & were married. I have no idea how long that had been but obviously, some years & they were still happily married.
Not long after that, he retired & they went back to the Ozarks & he worked as a fishing guide, last I heard of him.
