Life Is Good


Day 333: Today, the honors go to my fishing buddy and his little wife in acknowledgement of seventy years of marriage. Yep, seventy years! They were sweethearts through their high school years and shortly after they married, they each joined the military and were stationed far apart for the duration of the Second World War. They started a family when the war ended, raising two daughters.

Today, the family includes both daughters, three grandchildren and three great-grandchildren, plus one "adopted" member, the other half of the team fish have reason to fear. If ever two people epitomized the phrase, "Life is good," it would be these two wonderful people I am glad to have as part of my life. Here's to many more anniversaries!
