on this day, at 11 a.m. I married Carol. Yep, 61 years of nuptial bliss! Ha! The main reason I have been married this long is I still do the cooking, most of the cleaning, take care of the cat, and now I take care of many of her medical needs that resulted from a minor stroke 3 years ago. Tomorrow, our adult children are coming here and I am grilling them Wagu Kobe filet mignon for our anniversary dinner celebration. And, my son will be helping me do the deep epoxy pour on the dining room table project that I have been working on for the past 4 months. Gotta get this done before I take the dirt nap,

All the best, from an old fart,

Gary

A solid number... I cook myself too but I'm the only one who eats it, also no rush to clean, as there's only me to complain. Can't say this is a lot of fun, but..
You are a proper family man :-)
Congratulations, Gary;
Looks like you tend to make right decisions in life :-)

Thanks old friend,

Gary

Congrats Carol & Gary.
Enjoy the celebration and family meeting.

Wife & me is counting 50 year since our wedding day if we're still going strong when the calendar show March 2024.....
Time really flies.

Happy Anniversary Gary and Carol !!! -charley

Happy Anniversary!

You've been bragging about a dirt nap for quite a while now. I'm not so sure that this will happen anytime soon. You are a tough old fart that does not let go easily.

Thanks everyone, for the well wishes. The kids should arrive in the next hour and I will be firing up the charcoal grill and grilling those steaks for everyone. Captain Russ introduced me to those steaks and I have been hooked ever since. Here's a link to the site where I purchase them: https://www.snakeriverfarms.com/

Here's tonight's dinner:

Another fun day at the Diamond Ranch!

Bet you're like me. Marriage longevity is because of the music business. If you'd been home every night Carol would have kicked your scrawny ass
out the door 60 years ago.

Best personal regards to you both, old friend!


Russ (three years behind you guys) Lay

Congratulations, to the both of you!

BTW, great job on those steaks. If I didn’t know, I’d have said sous vide, they are cooked to perfection..! Good job I don’t live closer!

Happy Anniversary to you both..

Keep on truckin' Gary and Carol! That meat looks awful good, but almost as much as my used keyboard

Thanks everyone. Russ, the main reason Carol has kept me around is I do all the cooking, grilling, laundry, take care of the cat, landscaping, and fixing her laptop when she screws it up by clicking OK when she shouldn't. Fortunately, I no longer have to mow the lawn or shovel snow - I pay younger folks to do that for me at the Diamond Ranch.

All the best,

Gary

Happy anniversary, Gary and Carol. Wishing you the best!

Happy Anniversary to you both 🎊🎉🎈🍾🥂
