We celebrated our 49th anniversary today.

[Ruth n Jersey]

Our anniversary started out with a laugh. The hubby had to take the car in for a few repairs but he left me a card on the table where I sit to have breakfast. I opened it and found it was the exact same one I had gotten for him.
When He got home I gave him mine to see his reaction.
He stared at it and read what was inside but there wasn't much of a reaction. I then showed him mine and he said he thought it looked familiar and said he bought mine months ago and forgot what it looked like. At least we know we both liked the card.
We went out to dinner and then to a casino for a few hours. We hadn't been out since our trip to my daughters for Easter.
Even though we had to wear our masks and there was plexiglass between the slot machines it was nice to be out and about.
It makes you stop and think how quickly things can change in our lives and gives a person a greater appreciation of what we had.
The hubby came home $3.00 richer and I came home $36.00 in the hole which is usually the case. It was well worth it because we both had an enjoyable evening
We were home by 9:30 and dog tired which wasn't the case 49 years ago.

That was a very happy 49th. Congratulations.

Giving the same card indicates your great minds think alike. That can be part of the secret of your many years together.

That's great. So many marriages to day don't last. Not too long ago, I think that I read where marriages are now lasting on average about 9 years.
