I was certain when I was young that staying married to the same person for any credible length of time would result in suffocating boredom! NOT! How we do evolve!
No big celebration for us. No sappy Hallmark cards. No orchid corsage decorating my sweatshirt. No champagne. Just a homegrown dinner from the garden, followed by a tall glass of cold milk, a little homemade ice cream, a kiss and an exchange of thank yous...for putting up with each other all this time! And another day out here JOTOLR with the cows and the dogs and the chickens and a quiet reflection on the years of joy. Where did it go? The time has simply flown by and become a lifetime. And what a lifetime we've had! Who would ever guess that this is a sunrise...and not a sunset...? Thank you, love, for a wonderful journey...so far!

Wait until it's the 50th and you really wonder where the years went and how it all worked out so well! It's just one day at a time and get and take. Linda
ReplyDeleteThe two of you were made for each other, proven by the wonderful life you've made together. May you have many many more happy anniversaries!
ReplyDeleteHAPPY ANNIVERSARY!!! I loved the photograhs.
ReplyDeleteHere's to a partnership that is extraordinarily creative and productive. you fulfill an ancient ideal in marital union of complementary aspects that keep exceeding what both of you could have accomplished separately by a huge factor. we toast your continuing endeavor and to elora for 250 consciousness-raisings. chris
ReplyDeleteWe are so alike Elora, in so many ways. We celebrated 46 years in October and there were no big splashes, nothing much really to mark the occasion at all. Except a quiet acknowledgement that all is well and we're both glad we're here. :) blessings, marlene
ReplyDeleteHappy Anniversary. To be together for so long is a testament to both of you, to your partnership and and your outlook on life. I think Peter and I are still working on the compromise aspect but then we're mere beginners with only 34 years under our belts so I'm sure we will get there. Much love, Ruta.
ReplyDeleteHappy Anniversary! I can only hope that I'll be able to celebrate such a fantastic anniversary in 45 years :)
ReplyDeleteElora -- happy marriage to you and MM. I do enjoy reading your posts so please continue to write another 250 more!! -- barbara
