Happy 45th Anniversary to Us!

May 31, 2012 by  

Hard as it is to believe, Jack and I have been married 45 years today. I wrote about our life together on our anniversary last year, and I invite you to read Happy 44th Anniversary to Us! We still enjoy our weekly dates to grocery shop at Walmart and have breakfast at Denny’s. However, when we get home, we put away only the perishable items and leave the rest for our wonderful home helper Betsy Gonzales. She’s a treasure and takes wonderful care of us.

Happy anniversary, Jack! I love you more today than I did 45 years ago.

    Hello Lille,

    Firstly I wish you and Jack belated Happy Marriage Anniversary. I congratulate you both to complete 45 wonderful years of togetherness. Hope you both have a great life ahead. Anyways Lille if you don’t mind can you share with us what you gifted each other on this auspicious occasion?

    • Lillie says:

      Thanks for the good wishes, Shonali.

      At our age, there is very little we need, and we prefer to enjoy time with each other than to give each other gifts. We spent a leisurely day together then went out to our favorite restaurant for a special dinner.

    Best wishes to some dear old friends.

  14. Cindy says:

    How I wish we could reach that long. We will surely have renewal of vow by then with our kids and grandchildren.
