Today is my 44th wedding anniversary.
I am sitting here alone, my husband went to the movie "The Lone Ranger". It was a mutual agreement as I cannot sit still long enough for a full length movie. And....Johnny Depp as Tonto? Nah.

I'm in good company. 
chuckle:
Hope I got it right this time. My bifocals trick me up sometimes.
Whoa, Momma!
Booze 24/7.
And much cheaper.
You two are lucky, I couldn't even stand myself after 44 years! 
All kidding aside, that is a beautiful thing. Many more happy years to you both!
I'm curious about not being able to sit still for a full length movie.
None of my business though.
I think Depp will be a hoot as Tonto.
We're seeing it Friday.
I guess I am not a real Johnny Depp fan. Enjoy the movie.
A gonzo radical's radical.
Not too often, but I did go a few months ago. Can't remember what I saw, but I did make it through the entire movie. I do remember the one before that was "Gran Torino" with Clint Eastwood in 2008.
Now I'm doubly curious.
My only problem with sitting through an entire movie is an enlarged prostate.
I know, TMI.
Sorry.
If they would just have intermissions like the plays I go to.
Here's to many more! .

My best friends, who have been together for almost 50 years, take separate holidays.
Usually 2 1 week holidays each year.
"space" - we all need it - even from our most beloved.
We are all individuals, regardless of our relationships.
So - ya wanna keep someone, ya gotta let them be them.
Looks like you know that . .
And remember - being alone doesn't have to mean being lonely.
Ya know he's coming home!
Happy 44th!

I am very accustomed to staying by myself, and am happy to do so.
We have a home in North Carolina where he spends months at a time. His parents are still alive. We bought 4 acres next to his folks so he would have a place to stay. I don't begrudge the time he is there. He left NC when he was drafted in 1966, so it makes it nice for him to be able to be with his family. They all live within 10 miles of each other, something I can't say. My sisters are scattered from Utah to Washington state.
Your place sounds grand. I love reading your posts.
Any more I really enjoy hearing about long term couples.
MamaRosa and I are in our late 30's in years together ( 7 years shackin' up + 29 years married ((in two and half weeks))=36 hangin' together).
and MomaRosa. Every day counts.

Lisa and I are in this thing till the sun burns out .It sounds like you and Lisa have a plan.
Congrats.
arguing over a post on DU. Silly stuff. I finally just emailed him the New York Times article to back up my argument and told him he could read it, or not.
I hope you are getting better every day.
At 31 years (39 together), we're just babes in the woods!
But I agree--Jay Silverheels will always be Tonto to me.
