53 YEARS AGO TODAY

Today we celebrate our 53rd wedding anniversary!!!


Where did the time go? But when I think of all we've done and accomplished in these 53 years, I wonder how we did it.

We were married in our home town of Northville, NY on January 21, 1956 . Our first apartment (and only one) was in Endicott, NY where Larry had a job at IBM. Can you believe he was 19 when we got married, had a 2 yr degree from Broome Community College and had been working at IBM for 6 months? I was 20.

We stayed in the Triple Cities area for 38 years, living in Johnson City for 4 years then built a house in Endwell where we lived until we moved back to our home town of Northville in 1994. We have 4 children and 11 grandchildren.

I could write a book on all the things we've done, incidents over the past 53 yrs and of course writing about out kids and grandkids would be more than half the book. We've made some wonderful friends over the years too, who are such a big part of our life together. God has been good to us as we've put him first in our marriage. He has blessed us with an above average happy marriage.
