January 16th - We Celebrate Our 36th Wedding Anniversary


On January 16, 1976 @ 7pm
Tony and I exchanged vows.
We both look back at this picture
and wonder where did the
young people go? My how time
has flown for us.
36 years and it
seems like only yesterday.


Today, we are a little bigger,
a little wiser, parents to 3 grown
children and grandparents to
8 grandchildren. Still asking
ourselves where the time
has gone. Remembering when.

SO, today I am joining
Marydon @ Blushing Rose
For Monday Love Is.
Remembering when...
Please pop over and say
hello. She loves visitors,
and will bless you with her
beautiful blog home.

BIG Angel Hugs
To those of you who have
been keeping me close in
your prayers. I have been
ill since
December 21st and am
slowly getting
back up to speed.
(I have had no energy at all.)
I have missed blogging
and have lots of catching
up to do. I hope you all had
a wonderful Christmas and are
having a Happy New Year.
Can hardly believe
that it is already 2012.


As always, thank you for stopping by,
my little piece of heaven,
here in the desert,
that I so love to call home.
Country hugs and much love,

Happy Anniversary! You still are quite a handsome duo. Hope you keep recovering your strength. Maybe sitting outside in our warm weather will perk you up.

A Free Spirit Butterfly said...

Hello sweet friend. I envy your 36 years of bliss. Wow how the Lord has blessed you and kept you. Praying that in my next exchange of vows, Lord willing, I will submit, surrender and trust in the Lord with my whole heart.

For now, I will remain single and working toward a closer relationship with Jesus.

Sorry to hear that you haven't been feeling well. Although I've been a little blue lately, yours sounds a bit more serious. Praying that the doctors, your husband and support of friends and loved ones will lift and restore you soon.

I appreciate you!

Love,
China

Hi Sherry, Sorry you have been sick. It is no fun thats for sure. I have been off my feed for a number of weeks myself. Well, you sound like you are making a comeback and that is good. Happy Anniversary to you and Tony. Hubby and I celebrated our 46th last year. Wow the days just fly dont they. Hugs. LJ

Sue (Someone's Mom) said...

Happy Anniversary! We also wonder where the time has gone. In some ways it seems to be a flash and in others, a lifetime since so many things have happened along the way.

I'm sorry you haven't been well. I got sick in Florida and was sick all through Christmas, but thankfully other than a little "bark" that won't stop...mine went away. I hope you are back to normal soon. Hugs.

Beansieleigh said...

Hi Sherry! 34 years! Well, Congratulations to you and Tony! Love your wedding photo!.. Did you see that my own Dear Daughter has just been proposed to?

Sherry, Happy Anniversary to you and Hubby.
we are all getting older, I can't do what I did 5 years ago before the cancer.
I blame it on the radiation
and chemo. I am using a cane while they figure what's causing the pain in my leg. 6 months and it's getting worse. Well I left a comment with Heidi.
I am so sad to hear you are not well. You are a spring chicken.
Sending all my best wishes..
yvonne

Dixie said...

Sherry.. ya'll look just the same to me!...

My sweet Ricky has told me that when he looks at me, he stills sees that much younger girl that he fell in love with... and he, still that same sweet man I adored then... and still now... I guess our eyes play tricks on us don't they.

Congratulations on finding your soul mate, and both of you being smart enough to hang on to them...

God Bless you both... and so glad you're feeling better...

Texas Hugs. Dixie
