50 years.

[FireFighterZero]

August 5th was my parents 50th anniversary. Pretty cool deal.

They said they have been celebrating for the 50 days previous and will continue to celebrate for 50 days after.

We cooked steaks the day after up at there house. Just my crew and them.

Here is a picture of them at a family reunion last week. The others in the family made a nice announcement at the dinner the first night.

Well done to them, hope they enjoyed the day.

My parents, now both gone, made 50 years.

He looks fit.

Dad and Mom are both in quite good shape for their age.

 

[cory]

How young are they?

Dad will be 73 this fall and mom will be 73 this winter.

I joke to dad that I will go grey haired before he will.

50 years. Quite a stretch. Congratulations!

That's great! I'd like to get invited over to their house for dinner.

That is awesome. I like a guy who wears running shoes to his 50th

 

[FireFighterZero]

He does not like them. Prefers boots.

Mom thinks he looks good in them though.

 

[cory]

So do I

 

[woodworkingboy]

Your dad looks like he has a good sense of humor. Mom looks smart....practical.

 

[FireFighterZero]

Pretty accurate.

Funny to think of what may have been with them. Dad was studying accountancy and mechanical engineering and mom was studying business.

Mom worked for a bank and later for a lawyer for a while and Dad went to OCS and later Jump School at Fort Benning.

Dad was going to Vietnam with an Armored Calvary outfit as a First Lieutenant and Mom was going to stay home and work at the bank.


Then they bought a farm and here we are today!

You are truly blessed.

Awesome Jim, thanks for sharing

Some good folks right there and they brought you up right!

Jim, hows Lil' Richard boy doing??

 

[FireFighterZero]

He is doing good, starts kindergarten next week.

Lynley is starting 2nd grade.

Young Daniel is starting his terrible two's!

I guess we were lucky, never had the terrible twos, but having only one child reduces the odds I guess. I see kids throwing tantrums and think, now how would I handle that. Love conquers all i guess, including a good smack in the rear at just the right time.
