special day, 56 and counting

[pineywoods]

56 years togather today. I brought her a dozen red rozes. Thinking about just sitting on the front porch in a rocking chair and watching the world go by. Naa, I'll probably go work in the shop (rain all day) and make some more oak flooring I need for a project. We have had an interesting life from any perspective. High school sweethearts, we got married in the building that is now my workshop. Lived in 21 different places from the gulf coast (Mobile, Ala) to the canadian border (Opheim, Montana) east coast (philly) to pacific beaches(Cambria, Ca). and a few places in between..Raised 2 kids and 3 big ole grandsons, one great grandson. Now comfotably retired and pretty much do what I want to when I want to. (There's a few limitations on that  ;D ) Life is good, and the best part is friends and family..

Glad to read this Piney. Hope you guys are able to get back over to a pig roast. We can have another birthday party. This year, the day of the pigroast is our 35th.  Now, back outside to moving my barn. AGAIN.

Congrats!!! Connie and I just celebrated 46 years on Wed. Of course she tells everyone SHE has been married for 46 years and when I grow up I will be too.

[samandothers]

That is fantastic!  Sadly you do not hear of too many relationships like that today or seems so.   My bride and I are also high school sweet hearts but only at 32 years so far.

[r.man]

Congratulations. were the roses a first date thing?

[WDH]

Congrats Mr. and Mrs. Piney.

[pineywoods]

Congratulations. were the roses a first date thing?

Naw, nothing like that. First date was an ag club fish fry. I borrowed dad's 47 ford pickup, barely scraped up $1 for gas. If I had carried roses, I would have had to steal them off grannie's prize rose bush.. :

[Bill Gaiche]

Congrats Piney and to the wife. You wouldn't have looked good with cherry switch marks on the back of the legs if you had stolen them roses. Enjoy all the life you can. bg

[Roxie]

You and Mrs. Piney are so blessed to have each other.   

[trapper]

Congratulations  I wish I could say that.  Fortunately the one I now have will be forever.

[drobertson]

Congrats mr. and mrs, Piney!  it's nice to read about folks like you two,, wishing you many more years together, I kinda like the part about doing what you want, when you want ;D  pretty sure most of us know what that really means :D

[thecfarm]

That is good. Congrats!! 

[LeeB]

Congratulations. My hat is off to the two of you. I've got 18 more years to get that far along. I don't imagine I'll make it to 56. I plan on retiring in 9 and I figure Lindy will shoot me a few months after me being home all the time.  :D

[SawyerBrown]

Congratulations, Mr and Mrs pineywoods!  That's just awesome.

My grandparents (Ma's side) lived to celebrate their 75th (both lived into their mid-90's).  Hope the same for you two! 

[GAB]

Congratulations on a wonderful accomplishment.
You know another 9 years and some people will think you would rather fight than switch.
Would you per chance have any words of wisdom for those of us behind you folks (in years).
Have another piece of cake or wine (HIC) or something, you deserve it.

[fat olde elf]

Congratulations to both of you !

[Gadrock]

Congrats from Mississippi!
    I have enjoyed everything I have learned from you and this is no exception.
So I guess that means that you got married when you were 12!

Ha Ha

[POSTON WIDEHEAD]

I'll never make it that long without my wife killing me. 



 

[Left Coast Chris]

Congrats Piney!!   The only things we can really count on is Gods love and time passing......... sounds like you applied the first well and then the second fell into place.   Here's to 25 more blessed years together for you!

[jueston]

[pineywoods]

Thanks guys. I'd be lying if I told you it was easy, nothing to it..Especially the last 15 years as a full time 24/7 caregiver..But all things considered, life is GOOD, enjoy it.

[petefrom bearswamp]

Im a little late to the thread, but congrats Piney.

[yukon cornelius]

That's amazing! congrats!

[timberlinetree]

Congratulations. My hat goes off to you.

[pineywoods]

Make that 57 and counting..the last 17 with her 75 % dis-abled and me as the caregiver..

[drobertson]

Amazing stories you two must have,, time sure fly's,, Happy Anniversary once again Mr. Pineywoods, and to the Mrs, as well!

[GAB]

Congratulations and I wish you many more.

[Logger RK]

Congratulations. Next month will be Me & My Bride's 36th 8)

[gspren]

  Congratulations! My 30th is coming up and some of you make me feel like an amateur.

[Magicman]

Congrats Wayne & Nelda from us.  Here is wishing you many more.   

[wesdor]

Congratulations to you both. As a full time care giver that says a lot about you and your love for each other. You are an example for all of us.  We are 10 years behind you but my wife is still pretty much self sufficient. Lots of lucky people (who work to make things good) in our generation

[LeeB]

Duly humbled. It takes sacrifice on both sides to make that happen. One must realize that sometimes we do what we don't want to to keep the peace. My hat's of to you sir, and to your Mrs. too. 56 years contains many compromises from both sides of the table.

[Gary_C]

Congratulations! We are but a little over two years behind you and sure can appreciate your accomplishment.

[pineywoods]

One sorta un-intended side effect, I have by necessity become quite familiar with electric wheel chairs and handicap scooters. DanG things are expensive, so I acquire used (sometime free) ones. Usually require some maintenance, thus the practice of keeping an entire fleet. We found out the hard way that anyone dependent on these contraptions needs a spare. They aren't nearly as simple as they would seem, even the simple scooters are computer controlled. Here's her current fleet, minus a 4th acquired since this pic. 


 

[tree-farmer]

Congrats Piney, just remember behind every sucesssful man threre is a surprised woman... :D

[r.man]

A friend of mine used a scooter and fixed it himself as well. Eventually he had most of the high draw wires soldered instead of plugged, the plugs didn't last. Congratulations on 57, were there roses this year?

[Red Good]

Congrats Mr and Mrs Piney ! That's a good long time .

[slider]

I'm on the tail end of this but congratulations Piney.Sounds like a good life for fine people.Looking forward to many more interesting post.Wish i were closer to you.

[WmFritz]

Happy 57th Mr. and Mrs. Piney.
