OT. 50 yrs.

today me and my bride have been married 50 years had to be a good woman to put up with all my tractor chasing and stupid cowboy stunts

Congrats!!!!!Gonna buy her a tractor???

Congrats!!!! It take TWO special people to make things work for 50 yrs. See you after the next 50.

Congratulations, wishing you many more.

Congratulations!

Mrs. and I are at 41, but sometimes it feels like 50 with the wind chill.

If you have a good wife and a good tractor at the same time life has to be good. You can only get one good wife at any moment but you can have a lot of good tractors at the same time.

Maybe try moving to Utah ?

Well those sweet, supportive, thoughtful marriages do seem to last a long time.

But there are other types of marriage that last equally long. They are built on other factors such as inertia, procrastination, laziness, delayed decisions such as "how do we divide up all this crap?" Or just the love of a darn good fight.

May you have many more.

Congratulations Pete and Mrs. Pete,

Hope you have many, many more.

Congrats and many more!~

I sincerely congratulate you and your wife.
My wife and I celebrated our 50th in July.
Sadly, we are becoming a thing of the past.
As much as my grandkids seem impessed with such an accomplishment, I see little hope in them carrying on the tradition.

Congrats Pete and Mrs. Pete. We hit the 35 mark this year, have every intention of getting to where you are today!
Anyway, since I got this funny today I figured it was appropriate in your case....enjoy!!!

A woman awakes during the night to find that her husband is not in bed.
She puts on her robe and goes downstairs to look for him.

She finds him sitting at the kitchen table with a hot cup of coffee in
front of him..

He appears to be in deep thought, just staring at the wall.

She watches as he wipes a tear from his eye and takes a sip of his coffee.

'What's the matter, dear?' she whispers as she steps in to the room,
'Why are you down here at this time of night?

The husband looks up from his coffee, 'It's the 20Th Anniversary of the
day we met'.

She can't believe he has remembered and starts to tear up.

The husband continues, 'Do you remember 20 years ago when we started
dating? I was 18 and you were only 16,' he says solemnly.*

* Once again, the wife is touched to tears thinking that her husband is
so caring and sensitive.

'Yes, I do' she replies.

The husband pauses. The words were not coming easily. 'Do you remember
when your father caught us in the back seat of my car?'

'Yes, I remember' said the wife, lowering herself in to a chair beside him.

The husband continued. 'Do you remember when he shoved the shotgun in my
face and said,'Either you marry my daughter or I will send you to prison
for 20 years?'

'I remember that, too' she replied softly.

He wiped another tear from his cheek and said 'I would have gotten out
today.'***
