Although we celebrate every Friday the 13th, yesterday was our regular old official anniversary. 21 years plus the many many years we simply lived together. In so many ways, an unlikely couple. How did it happen? All these years.
This, the wedding quilt. Blowin' in the wind. With answers.
Gosh, I stitched this one while I was still commuting to NYC as a textile designer. This dry heat is just great for washing and drying the big cloths. I was surprised, only a few worn spots showed up as holes after this round in the washer. I will mend it Again, today, when it is too hot to move.
After some switcheroo of this and that, I solved the keyboard issue. Glad because I am so NOT going to buy anymore electronics. Ever.
Happy anniversary! The wedding quilt is beautiful!
Thank you!
at the rate I’m going, our bed cover will be a 50th anniversary gift … congrats to you both … may you have many more good years together
Belated no doubt..but happy Anniversary….where do the years go and the many avatars we continually change into and back without warning now and then:)…wonderful…
Wishing you and the man…always things to laugh and smile about…and gentle years .
Happy happy anniversary you two ❤ Love the Friday 13th honouring…and The Man
putting reminders on his phone way way into the future 🙌❤😃
I like unlikely…proving everyone wrong by just keeping on going.
We were 29 years married on 1st July…30 years together in September, and friends for 39 years. I love the growing as we go.
ditto here! congrats
we celebrated our 26 wedding anniversary!
Yay!
We celebrated 36 years married on the 12th and 40 years together in the 14th. What a long strange trip but still fun.
Make,wear,tear,mend,wash,love,repeat prettyuch pretty much sums it up.blind date,45 years together 21 of which are legal.kept my last name as it was shorter than the mans he makes sawdust, I make lint!
Happy anniversary to you and the man.
Where does the time..go?
the wedding quilt is a perfect metaphor for this passage of time. much love and patience.
And still holding.
I’d love a wedding quilt as beautiful as your hanging in the breeze. I remember my inlaws 65th wedding anniversary. That’s a lot of alot! 🙃🤔😏🥰
That’s a lot of years.
Happy Everything to the two of you! Wishing you many more mends.
Friday the 13th is a favorite here, too- was in first grade when sister was born on that eve. Remember thinking “now it’s a lucky day”.
Never really thought about it being Friday the 13th until after we got married. Then it was quite funny…
happy to you and the man….
i cannot imagine such a thing……..
Never imagined really and quite amazed.
Happy Happy to you two! Perhaps unlikely works just as well as likely? I’m still considering where we fall in that arch. (((hugs)))
Maybe better. I learn a lot.
Happy Anniversary! That celebration on every Friday the 13th is very sweet. Hope you both stay as happy as you are today!
It’s a seesaw.
A’guidhe ceann-bliadhna air leth dhut!
(Wishing U a happy anniversary)!
Thank you!
It always amazes me that the married connection continues to get better and closer over the years. Glad to be a part of your long partnered club.
Who knew? Ha!
Happy anniversary Jude (from another unlikely couple 38 yrs dear god longer together then apart WOW )
It is pretty amazing isn’t it?
Happy Anniversary! We are up to 40 years this year! And an unlikely couple as well… I am sure the families took bets on how long we would last. But here we are… I like what Nancy D said above “Wear, tear, mend, wash, love, repeat…”
What if you give up too soon and you never realize that that’s what it’s all about?
Thanks. My husband and I have been married for 38 years, happily I must add!
Happily might be a little bit too easy to say for me… I can say it has been a bit of a rocky road, but quite a trip
Things to celebrate! 🙂
So many really…
Happy Anniversary dear Jude and The Man! May there be many more!❤️
Hey you, thanks…
❤
Back…
Mend it with love in the stitches ready for a twosome winter embrace! Happy anniversary!
Nothing like a sweet blanket
Happy Anniversary to both of you and may you have many more years together……………….
Thank you love…
the unlikely seems to work well in couples and quilts. happy mending!
What if? Ha.
Happy belated anniversary! The years do fly by, on’t they? We celebrated our 50th last month, how in the world did that happen?
At this point who can remember?
I had to smile at your words, “an unlikely couple” for they also describe us: R , the logical calm, quiet man and me, “salsa” personified, loud, emotions on her sleeve, dancing woman but somehow, it has worked for over 52 years!
Some years fly by in a flash, others limp along… the flash and the limping, it’s all part of a life together. 21 Years and more, you and the man, Happy Anniversary to both of you and may you have many more years together.
Thank you Marti, maybe difference makes all the difference
Happy anniversary ! We celebrated our 31. wedding day on 12th July
Congratulations. I think it’s about 39 years if I add them all up
So many years! Congrats!!
Wild ride
congratulations on making it all this long time!
We both deserve medals
Happy Anniversary 🌻
and I love seeing your clothesline it makes me think of my grandma 💙
the best part of being here is no attitude about that
And isn’t a good marriage just like that? Wear, tear, mend, wash, love, repeat…
Happy 21st Jude and The Man~
the skill of holding it all together… polished over time
Happy anniversary. Love that you celebrate every Friday the 13th. That’s very romantic.
he has marked the calendar on his phone for reminders, way way into the future, hysterical because we never really remember.
Happy Anniversary!
Hey thanks
Happy Anniversary! Time flies when you’re having fun! 💙💖
(Apparently, we are hogging all the rain down here; woke up to yet another thunderstorm this morning)
I think all the water here is underground in that river that runs through Down under.
Happy anniversary!
Thank you
