Simply put, we really are blessed! I've learned that what I need, I already have. What I want, I don't need!
We were blessed with our 50th at Christmas, we were married for Christmas!

My friend and his wife set me up. It led to this:



She is a timid little thing, but, puts on a brave face for us, from time to time:



She won’t shoot, but will pull for us at the club:



I tell her she is the best thing that ever happened to me. It was hard, I’m sure, to uproot from South America, leaving home and family, to be with me.

She tells me she would do it again.

Me too.




Best,
Ted

Got the right one the second time and and it's now been 22 years for Judy and me.

Judy on Monet's Japanese Bridge at Giverny, France and the first quail she shot - she also shoots clays:

Judy is a perfect lady. I always enjoy being in her presence.

T his year it is 55 years together but in the beginning due to me opening my mouth just to change feet it could never have happened. It was eyes across the room at a Village dance you could say plucking up courage I made a date with her in two days time so far so good!!! Next day talking to my friend telling him about the much looked forward date, he said Ernie what Planet are you on you have to go bell ringing tomorrow night and you can not miss that. He was the bell captain and his word was final. Next day I waited for her leaving work and explained my predicament, her reply "that is ok I will come with you". As good as her word she turned up and sat for two hours in a thirteenth centaury windy and cold church bell tower for nearly two hours watching five other people ringing bells, watching a car rust would probably have been more entertaining. Though a visit to the village pub afterwards was a very good move



Campanology and a cold bell tower in this place makes a life time partnership OH! Plus two sons plus the grandchildren.

My mother never said anything, no one did, the only person that did was her brother, and I thought he was joking. Oh well, I got two wonderful children out of it.

Reading the stories and seeing the pictures makes me envious. I'm glad everyone appreciates what they have, you've been blessed, best wishes to all.
