Happy 45th Anniversary!

It was 45 years ago today that we got married. Yes, we were young but we were sure of ourselves and we took a vow that June 3rd in 1972 that we still hold true today.

We’ve enjoyed the highs, worked through the lows. We’ve celebrated each other’s successes, supported each other when things went wrong. I won’t say it’s always been easy, but I will say that we’ve always worked it out when the road got a bit bumpy.

It’s been more than interesting so far. We’ve raised two great kids who’ve found their own great soul mates and are doing a great job with their own families. Our 40+ year careers have been fulfilling in their own right, providing for a comfortable life and some great opportunities to grow and explore all that life has to offer.

Now, 45 years later, we’re looking at getting ready to start down a new fork in the road as we look forward to retirement. I’m sure that the future is going to bring some new and interesting experiences and maybe a couple more bumpy patches that we’ll have to negotiate.

But I have to say…There is absolutely no one else I’d rather be with as we continue down this road of life. You are my friend, my lover, my partner, my wife. It’s been that way for 45 years, and it will be that way for many more to come.

Happy anniversary, K…Love you forever!

Loved you then, love you now…I did…I do…I always will!

Our New Site

Top Down Rambling is the blog site for a mid 60’s couple from Wisconsin, ready to share their thoughts and experiences in retirement with whoever cares to drop in.

Subject matter will definitely include travel, especially trips taken in our favorite mode of transportation when we hit the road – our 2004 Mustang GT convertible.

Besides travel, there are a number of other things that have piqued our interest, and we’ll likely include our thoughts and experiences on those as well as we settle into a retirement routine.

Whatever comes up, you’re welcome to “come along”, enjoy and comment.
