We interrupt the trip coverage to bring you the following announcement:
40 years ago today, we eloped.
December 6, 1982
The Greater Des Moines Botanical Garden
I read half of all marriages will end by 40 years, due to reasons of divorce or death (Harry Benson, Marriage Foundation, Dec 2019). Probably don’t need the statistic, at our age we have many sad reminders that life is short. And as one of our friends said in humour, “We’re not getting divorced at this age, who wants that financial hit during retirement?”
So after today, we’re beating the 50/50 odds.
I know we’ll make the most of it. ❤️
Happy 40th anniversary to you and Chuck . How blessed you are for having a wonderful marriage. Send my best wishes to Chuck.
