August 18 - Revised and borrowed from 16 years ago - we must be having fun, as time is flying.

 49 years ago, we had a little wedding, and strangely enough, it lasted. I guess there's something to be said about opposites after all - for we were and still are about as opposite as you can get. Which is why I can write all sorts of stuff about my husband, because he will never read my writing, and is probably one of the reasons we still are married....and the wheel goes round.

August 17, `1994 - at mom and dad's house in Traytown

In 49 years, the best thing we did was to have babies, one, two, three...wonderful boys who brought us wonderful girls and more wonderful babies. It's amazing that one kiss can travel so wonderfully through the years.

Now don't get me wrong. There have been times when we both probably would have enjoyed pushing the other off a tall building, but thankfully these moments passed by with no tall building near. I don't know whether it's love that's keeping us together, but he's the only one who knows me inside and out, and he's the only one I would have the patience to train - so I have no desire to start over again. I'll stay with the devil I know - and hope he decides to do the same thing!
