If my dad had not died at 93, he would be 115.<br /><br />June 3, 2012<br />Paul,<br />Congratulations. How is it in looks, time is is kinder to women than men? Also in youth, they’re older than we are and in mature years they stay younger? Maybe it’s not the time but the mileage? Huh?<br /><br />I couldn’t help but notice in the picture there were none seen on the groom’s side of the church. Did you not have any friends? :)<br /><br />I recognize the wedding dress—just like the one Belle wore. Even if it was a hot Oklahoma day in July 1957, (no air-condition car) it was a shock that she took off all those petticoats under the dress as I drove. I thought she would have me stop at a service station bathroom, but then I really had a lot to learn about married life. We were both 7 years older than you guys.<br /><br />Thirty something years later, we were on a long Volunteer Christian Builder’s trip and she said, “Do you remember this town?”<br /><br />“Never been here in my life.”<br /><br />“This is where we spent our honeymoon!”<br /> <br />Big oops.<br /><br />Next month will be our 54 th.Rex Rayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06976501582240117188noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28605099.post-75792145583226516632012-05-29T10:19:44.822-05:002012-05-29T10:19:44.822-05:00Bro.

Dee and I only knew him from our online exchanges, and we met him for dinner Friday (several hours after our website went down).<br /><br />He put up a Memorial Day post honoring us and has provided a great way to communicate (for those who can find their way to the steam tunnel). <br /><br />If you enjoy great satire, you ought to take a look at some of Sergius' work. He's only been blogging for a few months. Radio Free T4G is one of my favorites, along with the hedonistic TP ad.<br /><br />It's great to be able to laugh in the midst of what appears to be a trial...Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28605099.post-89921898575034851852012-05-29T09:25:12.952-05:002012-05-29T09:25:12.952-05:00Happy Anniversary Paul and Mary.

My parents will ...Happy Anniversary Paul and Mary!<br /><br />My parents will celebrate their 57th wedding anniversary this coming New Year's Eve. My dad, who is American, met my mom, who is Norwegian, when he was serving in the Air Force during the Korean Conflict. They met on the first night he was stationed in Norway. <br /><br />They have a marriage much like yours, and I am so blessed to have parents who have been wonderful role models.<br /><br />Thank you for sharing this fantastic news! <br /><br />In closing, I will be forever grateful for you son Wade. He is such an encouragement to me!<br /><br />Blessings to you and your family.Wanda (Deb) Martinhttp://www.thewartburgwatch.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28605099.post-33123317798516760572012-05-28T15:27:00.996-05:002012-05-28T15:27:00.996-05:00Paul,
Congatulations to you and your gorilla glue...Paul,<br /><br />Congatulations to you and your gorilla glue.<br /><br />It thrills me to read you using present tense words such as "We're learning to accept each other where we are..","We're learning to appreciate each other as individuals NOT defined by the other...","We're learning to be genuinely committed to the life we have in Christ by the Grace of God...".<br /><br />Happy anniversary! Praise God His great grace in you both!<br /><br />Oone of the two security words, quite appropriately, is SERVICE.Aussie Johnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16199918171163666399noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28605099.post-91489014987788273222012-05-28T09:02:43.879-05:002012-05-28T09:02:43.879-05:00Happy 53rd, Paul & Mary.
