We had time for a two-day honeymoon at the family cottage before returning in time for fall classes to begin at Michigan State University.

We’ve changed a bit over the last 50 years. Well, I’ve changed a lot, but Sylvia looks more beautiful to me each day.
A couple of days ago, I was in a local business and I was sorting through my coin purse for the correct change. The clerk reached in an took the right amount. Then she was embarrassed. “Oops! I shouldn’t have done that,” she said. I told her it was okay, I was married for [nearly] 50 years and understood. She has been married for 37 years. She went on to say how impossible it would be to replace a mate after that many years together and the history that you’ve amassed together. She was right on target with that comment.
Our life has been two hearts. Two sons. Two states. Two foreign countries. Two careers. All joined into one love. One faith. One life. One hope. One destiny.
So pardon me if I’m brief today. I have other things on my mind.
Awww a belated Happy 50th! My boss's parents have been married 67 years. I always make him smile when I say I haven't made it 67 minutes with a guy.
My blog is going by the wayside lately but I'll always stop by to read yours.
Congratulations on 50 years, a feat that not many couples can boast in this day and age. Here's to many more happy years together.
Awwww, Congratulations to you both! I love how you still adore your bride after all these years–and I'm sure she is the same about you. 🙂 Sweet. I wish you many, many happy years ahead.
And for that dame to stay out of your change purse!
I loved this! May you have many more wonderful years together!
Belated anniversary wishes to you!
50 Years – Mazel Tov!

Chuck, you are such a sweetheart, a real mushy, hopeless, romantic sap. 😉 You're always saying how blessed you are to have Sylvia. True, true, but I think it's reciprocal. 🙂
Cheers to a wonderful couple. *clink*
