39 Years, I Am One Lucky Idiot.

Today 39 years ago, she said I do. okay it was at the courthouse in Baltimore, and we could have also gotten a fishing liscence and paid a parking ticket, but this was our special day. And still is.

The Baltimore Court house.

How time flies. I have learned over the years, that when you truly happy, you don’t think of time, you just from time to time, stop, reflect, and know.

Oh that 1980’s hair

Suzy, Hank, in the oven, and I – San Fransisco

Lake Dora I think 20 years ago. Out on a Riva with Don

Note the theme? I think time has moved slower for her.

It’s a family tradition

I am not an easy person to live with

Oh boy.

One heck of a family

She actually helped remove the bottom from Gatsby

Classic Boating with Karen Harrison

With Mr B 5 years ago

Filmed in Cape Town, yes!

Always plotting

Driving

And fun at office parties.

My side kick, best friend, and true love. HER, not the boat.

    You were, and are a handsome couple. Congratulations on 39 years together. Treasure all of it. My wife, Peggy and I made it to 54 years of marriage before she passed almost four years ago. I wish you and your family a very merry Christmas and new year.

    Congrats Matt and Suzy! I’m sure it wasn’t all fun and boats, but it appears you had a great life together! For my beautiful wife and I, it was 45 years this past October. I’m wondering who, among the folks on this site, has the longest marriage!

      Since I don’t own a boat, I guess I can’t be officially “on the site”, but I am a daily lurker. My wife has put up with me for 64 years.

    congratulations. she probably deserves a medal, ha.

    I was amused by your comment about fishing licenses. Many moons ago when we got married we went to the king county (Seattle) recorders office and there was a sign hanging from the ceiling above one of the counters that said “Marriage and dog licenses here”)

    I tell her all the time, she should have gone running into the night. Coming up on 54 years. I also tell her to be patient God is not finished with me yet. Merry Christmas one and all.

    Congrats to you and Suzy Matt!!

    Merry Christmas to all!!!!

    Like all the men shown here, I too clearly married up.
    After 41-plus years and going strong, I love Patti more today than when I realized she was the one a long time ago.

    I guess all of our wives just like a two legged, long term “project”!!!

    Congratulations and Merry Christmas! From time to time when someone asks how we’re doing after 36 years, I tell them my mistress is out in the shop and I’m rubbing her butt with 80 grit… 🤗
