43 years ago - Scroll Saw Woodworking & Crafts Message Board

Hi gang.
I'd like to brag a bit about my good wife.
I met her when I was in the Air Force serving in Japan on the island of Okinawa. She was working in a restaurant I frequented and I would visit with her there. After a few months I asked her out. On that first date I proposed marriage and she accepted.
We have three children, each one more wonderful than the other two.
She is the best friend I have.
I don't want to get carried away here so I will just say it has been an adventure for 43 years and the saga continues.

OH, I forgot to add that I am thinking of buying her that new router I have been wanting.

Congratulations and best wishes for many more years of wedded bliss and adventure. Sounds like it might get a bit more adventurous if you give her the router.

Happy for both of you Stephen. My wife and I are re-newing our vow's on the 16th of this month....plus my wife is turning 60 as well. The wife has been so busy getting everything just right around here....we are doing this big party here at our place. Invited about 125 people, but I doubt there will be that many show up. We have a band and tons of food...BYOB and you will be ready. I just wish one of our 5 grown kids could make it...

Soooo, you are a little slow to get started, but once you set a course, it's full speed ahead, huh?

Congratulations! For the good decision 43 years ago and for sticking with it.

Congrat's Stephen ! I only hope after all those wonderful years, you don't ruin it with a Router for yourself, HA I'm assuming it is for you? Don't take me serious. Have a wonderful Anniversary.
