4. My dear Miss Marmelstein!

Thanks.....our waiter was most obliging!

We had a fabulous and delicious dinner, plus we shared a dessert!

We don't eat dinner out too much, so it was a very special treat....

We are looking forward to many more years together!

5. Congratulations!!

41 years!!

[CaliforniaPeggy]

6. My dear leftofthedial........

Yup, 41 years! A lot of inertia in there, I gotta tell you!

Well, not so much now......

We have survived the storms of early marriage, and the rearing of now-grown children....

And now it's just the two of us, and we are happy together.....

Thank you for your congratulations!

:hug:

7. 41 Years! Congratulations!

WTG, dear Peggy!

You lucky couple, you! :hi:

[CaliforniaPeggy]

8. My dear Whoa_Nelly!

I LOVE LOVE LOVE your graphic!

Thank you for your lovely sentiments, sweetie!

We've had to work at it....but mutual respect and love really make a huge difference.....

We would be lost without each other, and we both know it....

:loveya: :hug:

[lavenderdiva]

9. Congratulations, CaliforniaPeggy on such a wonderful accomplishment!

and Congratulations to Mr. CP as well!

Please share with us the secret to a long and happy marriage--

[CaliforniaPeggy]

13. My dear lavenderdiva......

Thank you for your wonderful comments.....

The secret? Well......True love starts with, and stays with, RESPECT.

You need to be able to keep the lines of communication open....

And you need to know how to have FUN!

You also need privacy, to have your own time and space......

I'm sure there's more to it.......but all these work for us.....

A sense of humor is also indespensible!

:hug:

14. My dear socialdemocrat1981!

Oh, I thank you so much for your lovely sentiments!

We had a lovely day, and a lovely dinner out.....

We are very happy together....we've weathered some storms, and some crises...

But now the seas are calm, and we sail along gently together.....

We hope to get 20 more years!

Neither of us feels we deserve the other.....a true recipe for joy!

11. WOW! You guys ROCK!

I was married once- it barely lasted 41 WEEKS!

Mister Peggy is a lucky man, and a real inspiration
to all of us who have ever recognized a good thing when they saw it!

CONGRATS!

[CaliforniaPeggy]

16. My dear dicksteele......

Thank you so much!

We know how lucky we are......so many people have struggled as you did...

I really don't know how or just why we did survive.....but somehow, we did......

And now we'd be lost without each other!

Our dependencies are so very mutual, after this many years.....

I hope that one fine day you will find a special person who you can love...

It truly can make your life worthwhile......:hug:

22. Hey, don't worry 'bout me- I found my sweetie 6 years ago last August...

...and I've never looked back!

That time I married the town whore when I was 18?
Pfft! Ancient history.
That's just another embarassing childhood anecdode these days;
the baby pics my mom has of me in the tub are just
about as important.

And I made lots of other mistakes after that, but I LEARNED
something every time...
until I finally learned enough
to recognize the REAL deal when it came my way.

I spent 3 years completely and deliberately dateless
before my sweetie wandered into my field of vision,
and it was well worth the wait.

She's a truly amazing human being, and I loves her somethin' fierce, ItellYawhut!

17. My dear Starbucks Anarchist!

We did have a lovely day......and a lovely dinner!

And thank you once again for your perfect thread to me and my husband...

It meant, and will always mean, a very great deal!

I have bookmarked it so I can return and re-read the lovely messages in it!

:hug:

[Starbucks Anarchist]

19. You're very welcome, Peggy!

And by the way, we should try to meet sometime very soon.

I leave L.A. by the end of June. There's a slight chance we could meet for coffee or something. :hi:

[CaliforniaPeggy]

20. I hear you!

I will PM you my phone number now.....

And we will do this!

You need to have some updated pics taken before you vanish into the wilds of New York!

And then I'm going to bed.....I'm tired!

So....check your PM in a minute or two, OK?

:woohoo:
