[glow=red,2,300]I will toot my own trumpet and beat my own drum here...

Next Sunday, the 17th, husband and I will celebrate 40 years of marriage

My gift to him will be late...a DVD made from old 8mm movie film of our wedding and the two of us dancing the polka together for the only time in our married lives.

I am hoping a friend will be able to do the transfer for me...he does this sort of thing for a living.

Now that is something that should be shared and not hidden, so thanks for bringing it up and Congratulations! It takes a bit fo work to get there, eh, but it is worth it.

I don't have any flowers I can send except electronically, and I swiped these - if stolen food tastes better, then 'borrowed' flowers must be more beautiful...

GM had to send you some Rochester's Flowers
Congratulations and All the Best of Everything to you both!

Thank you all for the wonderful flowers and your warm wishes.

I bought a small box of super gourmet cocolates for husband today to go with the silly card. The kids are getting us an ice-cream to celebrate (I know because they asked us what kind we wanted. ) The grandchildren will love the cake as well The "men" are grilling pork chops "brined in beer" for the meat eaters, and lots of veggies!

I guess I am getting a little excited!

Congratulations GM, my parents will celebrate their 40 years of marriage in the beginning of july in a Golden Tulip hotel near Arnhem, with my South-African family of my sister (+ husbant and her two kids), and Dutch aunts, uncles, nephews and nieces!

I hope that you will have a wonderful celebration tomorrow!

Her a nice poem from Poems.me.UK

40 Years ago Today

Its’ my turn to make the speech today
So I thought I’d compete with my dad
I’ll tell you about the last 40 years
That have been more happy than sad

To start this rhyme I thought I'd say
Something about that happy day
But I'm finding it hard, to be quite fair
And it's simply because I wasn’t there

I bet dad looked marvelous
I bet mum looked great
I bet dad was nervous
And I bet mum was late

One year later and not too soon
Mum was adding to the baby boom
Along came Philip to cuddle and hold
But soon the little gentleman, or so I am told

Seven years later to spoil the quiet
Here comes Gaynor to cause a riot
I didn’t stop yelling or so it was said
From the time I was born ‘till the time I was wed

A lot has happened over the years
Plenty of laughter and your fair share of tears
The love that has kept you both together
I know will go on for ever and ever

Although money was sometimes tight
And as children we never understood your plight
Philip and I never went without a thing
And you’ve eventually got that Ruby ring

But the grandchildren wanted to be included too
In making this day special for you
Although Owain and Rhyddian are here with me
We must no forget the other three

It's no good thinking that in a while
They’ll come through that door, that lot from Carlisle
They just couldn’t make it was too much of a rush
So here are the flowers from all of us

By Gaynor Llewellyn
(October 1991)
