1. What a night for you guys!

You made it this far, but you still have a long way to go!

[CaliforniaPeggy]

6. Thanks so much, my dear OAITW r.2.0!

I'm not sure how much longer we have to go--we are both in our 80's now! Omigod!

We're having fun, no matter how long we last.

[OAITW r.2.0]

12. Age is a function on how you think.

Stay amazed and living the next day wondering, "what am I going to learn today, that I never knew?"

[LoisB]

2. Happy Anniversary. Congratulations.

[CaliforniaPeggy]

7. Thanks so much, my dear LoisB! Greatly appreciate your good wishes. ♥ nt

The food was very delicious as well as filling!

We had a great time.

For a couple of beautiful folks.. Happy Anniversary! Congratulations on your long and loving endeavor❤️

[CaliforniaPeggy]

9. Thank you so much, my dear solara!

It's been a great marriage; neither of us can imagine being married to anyone else! We do work at it.

[Rhiannon12866]

5. Wow! Looks like a lovely dinner in a beautiful place! Congratulations!!!

[CaliforniaPeggy]

10. Aw, thank you so much, my dear Rhiannon12866!

That's one beautiful gif!

We had a lovely time. I overate!

[Mousetoescamper]

11. Congratulations on your 59th!

[CaliforniaPeggy]

14. Thanks so much, my dear Mousetoescamper!

We had a great experience!

Great food, great service, and great ambience!

It could not have been nicer.

[malthaussen]

13. That's a lot of years.

How old were you when you got married, about six?

-- Mal

[CaliforniaPeggy]

16. It is a lot of years!

No, I wasn't six!

I was 21 and Lionel was 25, about to turn 26 exactly a week later.

So There!

[malthaussen]

44. Does Ben know about this "Lionel" guy?

I never would have expected it of you, Peggy!

-- Mal

[CaliforniaPeggy]

45. Of course, he's aware of "Lionel"! nt

[Old Crank]

15. Congratulations

Keep on keeping on.

[CaliforniaPeggy]

17. Thank you so much, my dear Old Crank!

That IS the plan!

Fingers crossed!

[DET]

18. Congratulations!

Impressive marriage longevity. We just celebrated our 40th; hard to believe. Looking forward to more of your lovely photos.

[CaliforniaPeggy]

19. Thanks so much, my dear DET!

And congratulations on celebrating your 40th! That many years takes serious dedication, respect and mutual desire.

I suspect that there will be more anniversary photos about a year from now.

Of course, there will be other kinds of photos in the meantime!

[slightlv]

20. Congratulations!!!

May all good things be yours and may your paths always entwine so beautifully.

Next year will be our 40th... told hubby about the rose petals on your table... hint, hint! (LOL)

[CaliforniaPeggy]

22. Aw, thank you so much, my dear slightlv!

So far, so good! Like any married couple, we've had our disagreements, but we get over them and go on.

Hey, the rose petals were the restaurant's idea, not ours! I think high end restaurants do stuff like that.

Hope you enjoy your 40th!

[rubbersole]

21. What a lovely couple.

Congratulations and many more!

[CaliforniaPeggy]

23. Thanks so much, my dear rubbersole!

Ah, we clean up pretty well!

We're hoping for more, but at our age, who knows? (We're both in our 80's!)

[AKwannabe]

24. Get thee to the Greatest!

29. My dear Ms. Peggy, you are practically newly-weds, compared to the Carters!

Seriously, thank you for including us in your celebration of this most joyous occasion. All blessings and joy to you two, with many more wonderful years, which I hope we will be able to share with you.

[CaliforniaPeggy]

33. Ah, my dear niyad!

How right you are, about the Carters!

We don't know how long we'll have . . . but we're making the most of the time we have.

I firmly believe in sharing! There will be many more photos.

[Bundbuster]

30. Congratulations Peggy!

There must be so many wonderful memories in those 59 years.

[CaliforniaPeggy]

34. Thank you so much, my dear Bundbuster!

We have a lot of great memories, and a few not so great! Such is the way of marriage.

We are very happy being married to each other and cannot imagine being married to anyone else.

It's a grand feeling!

[angrychair]

[DFW]

74. Ah, all we did was feed you oversized portions of Greek whatever it was

Although, it doesn't appear to have had any lasting ill effects.............

You both look so happy! And your dinner looks scrumptious! Is that fish?

[CaliforniaPeggy]

54. Thanks so very much, my dear Diamond_Dog!

The restaurant is just gorgeous! The food was perfect as well. Our server was attentive but never bothered us!

And yes, we did have fish. My husband had the Alaskan Halibut and I had the Petrale Sole. We shared potatoes au gratin!

There was so much food that we took some of it home!

[sinkingfeeling]

88. How wonderful. So few accomplish this.

We were 45 years in May.

My parents were married 19 before he died.

It is a lot of work to stay together, but for many of us it is worth the effort. We have both had cancer and grizzly treatment. It is hard, glad you made it.

Lyrics:
There are loves
Which become resistant to damage
Like wine that improves with age
This is how what I feel for you grows
There are loves
They wait for winter and bloom
And in the autumn nights they turn green
Just like the love I feel for you

[CaliforniaPeggy]

117. ***Thanks to all of you for your warm wishes and comments! Alas, my day has carried me away . . . ***

I can no longer answer each one of you as you deserve.

I am reading every post! And when I've done that, I will leave a personal rec. That way you'll know I was there and I loved what you had to say!

Many thanks to all!
