Our 29th Anniversary

Post by jimjohson »

funny how life is, i was stationed at ft benning('77-'78) my wife's from columbus ga. we went to the same clubs, skated at the same rink, bowled the same lanes, hung out at the same park every sun afternoon, weather permitting. we even swam at the same rock quarry. had to get stationed in germany 3 years later to meet her. where she joined me in my valiant, but ultimately futile, efforts in drinking germany dry. married her in '84, she's been my co pilot thru this world and, when needed, the voice of reason every since. 2 sons 1 daughter and now 4 grandsons.

Congratulations indeed. And talk about a coincidence. You'll be married 29 years and I'll be 29 years old. We can celebrate together. Mind if I call you dad?

Congratulation to you Jim.
I met my wife in Germany also. A Mainzer Madel. It will be our 50th in two weeks.
Her landlord introduced me to her and over the years she has often mumbled to herself, in German, that she would love to go and find that landlord and give him a big hug around the neck.
My German has never been the greatest but I finally found out when loosely translated, that she wanted to go find him and choke his neck.
