CONGRATULATIONS TO TONY FOR HAVING SUCH A WONDERFUL LOVING AND PATIENT BRIDE.

AND CONGRATULATIONS TO TONY AND DOT ON SUCH A GREAT WEDDING ANNIVERSARY!

Tony,
You do realize that on the 60th anniversary the husband is supposed
to give the wife
a yellow diamond, don't you?

Of course, Dot's had a diamond in the rough for the entire time! :-)


Again, Congratulations.

a.

I have met Dot and yes- she is your 'better half'.  LOL 
 
Congratulations!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
 
Like the old knight who guarded the grail in the Indiana Jones movie said-
"You have chosen wisely, my son."
 
That Dot chose wisely is also obvious.  You've both drank from the cup of happy marriage for a long time.
 
Hey!  You been married one year longer than I been alive!  That should make you feel happy!

Tony, all those question marks??????? 
Is it like the old 'two-liner'?:
"Yeah, my wife and I been married for 15 happy years."
His buddy: "I thought you been married over 40 years."
"Yeah, like I said... 15 happy years."

Not on your anniversary, but for bringing out so many lurkers.
I was beginning to wonder if we had many VFBers left.

Tony,

Congratulations on your wedding anniversary and quite a mile stone. I share several of your hobbies as you are well aware and each year it seems I pick up another. I have only been married 7 years and each year I wonder what is keeping her from killing me. Besides kevlar clothing and my dog as a food tester, any advice to help me make it to 60 in one piece?

Seriously, congratulations and here is wishing you many more!

Scott

Alan, this is the second time I have to correct you. Dot is not a Jersey Girl, she is an OKIE from Oklahoma can't you tell from her Oklahoma accent. Gee you talk to her more than you talk to me.LOL

Congratulations to both of you!!

And now I'll give the feminine side of why anyone can make it to 60
years. Dot would know this as well as the many other wives who have
been married to the same man for a long time. You see we knew when we
met you that you would have many hobbies and life changes until you
reached true adulthood, at about 60. Meanwhile we get a almost new
personality in our lives on a regular basis and this creates a fresh
outlook on the marriage. However, this doesn't work if more than the
eye wanders.

And there is a reverse, where she has the many lives and grows up at 60.
