July 6 1968 Anniversary
He (almost) always remembers the card, I only remember when I SEE the card, propped up on the table, or in front of my computer. I did catch him out one year, when we both forgot, and I remembered first, about a week later.
I can't believe it's been 49 years.
We don't do a fancy dinner, we don't do flowers or gifts, it's a marker day, the way birthdays are, but we rarely make a big do about it. It just is.

Congratulations! We just celebrated our 50th. It was quite a milestone.
ReplyDeleteit can be, and thanks. And when you think about it (congratulations to you as well), these days it's a wonder the miracle ever happens at all.
DeleteWell, congratulations anyway. Low key ones.
ReplyDeleteoh yes. No horn tooting, no confetti. Maybe a gentle smug smile. We are Yankees after all, it wouldnt do to get too excited, now...
DeleteYou actually got a card!!! wow. When she got out of bed on Jan 7th. I said happy 50th anniversary dear,she looked at me and mumbled happy anniversary. That was all we needed. Some need more. We had made up our mind several years ago that we didn't want our picture in the paper, and no big party. Each to his own.
ReplyDeletewell the fireworks here have to wait one more year, and I expect another card then, too.
DeleteI must admit when I went shopping today I found a nice card for him, as a surprise for later.
But I agree, it's a number, and a nice one to reach, and it does sorta round your life out a bit--and for those who want the dance and the dinner, more power to 'em.
