My 42nd wedding anniversary is today....

[schafe]

So I checked online, and there are no traditional gemstones or gifts listed for this one. However, the modern gift is listed as "Real estate improvement".
Now, I'm wondering if mowing the lawn qualifies?
Or perhaps I should abandon that line of thought, and go for the I pad and dinner?
So confusing!!

Congrats to you and your bride!

I hope "real estate improvement" doesn't mean buying a new house...

iPad AND dinner? Yeesh, it's only your 42nd one. Gotta save something for the next few

Congrats!

 

[Mr. Habib]

My condolences to your wife.

Wow. I have to have respect for someone who has made marriage work for that long. Any advice to those of us not married for more than four decades?

Just enjoy her the way she is. Some "yes, Dear" never hurts, either.

I'm closer to 30 than 40 years of marriage but I can vouch for this. The saying: "When momma ain't happy, ain't nobody happy" is something a wise man should always consider and take into account in any of his actions.

Congratulations schafe!

do you want to be right or do you want to be happy?

My condolences to your wife.

Do you know me or something?

 

[schafe]

do you want to be right or do you want to be happy?

Sometimes that is a tougher decision than it's supposed to be !

Congrats on 42 years, that is fantastic!

One more month and it will be 25 for me and I am looking forward to the next 25.

 

[Hajisc]

Congrats,We just celebrated our 34th.......Can't believe it sometimes.

 

[Birds Away]

Personally, I would go with mowing the lawn. But, then again, I made it to 24 but 25...not so much.

Seriously, congrats to you and your bride. May you share many more years of wedded bliss.

 

[Clay]

she must be a saint....... or an angle.

 

[Redskinsfan]

Congratulations to you both.

she must be a saint....... or an angle.

Schafe, praying: Lord I married that Saint you sent and for our 42nd anniversary, I bought her dinner and an I pad.
Voice from the clouds: Thats all?
Schafe: Well, I thought that Remington Rand 1911 I bought her for our 40th would work for at least a couple of years.
Voice from the clouds: Sheesh...go mow the lawn.
Schafe: Yes, Lord.

Congratulations on 42 years.

Today is the hubby and mine's 31st. To celebrate we went to the lake and he spent the day fishing while I layed on the boat and read a book. I snuck a nap in there too. Got off the water a bit early so we could make it home to get cleaned up to go to church. I missed church Sunday morning cause I was at an Appleseed. Was a great way to celebrate our anniversary.

Hope you enjoyed your's too.

^^^ Same to you Expat!
