SILLY OR SMOOCHY SATURDAY - YOU DECIDE!

Hello lovely Blippers

Snowy here – and of course this can't really be "Silly Saturday" in this house but more likely to be "Smoochy Saturday", because today is the 53rd Wedding Anniversary of Mr and Mrs HCB.

When we heard this we thought that we would try and re-enact a wedding ceremony well, not exactly the ceremony but the photograph afterwards.

I dressed up in my finery, complete with daisy bouquet but JH Ted said that he wasn’t going to be dressing up so he would just come in his normal gear! Isn’t that a typical man? I did insist that he wore a daisy buttonhole though!

Anyway we wanted to wish Mr and Mrs HCB a very happy Wedding Anniversary and we hope there will be many more for them to share and enjoy.  It's a good job that Mrs HCB is a hoarder, because in these difficult times, when neither of them have been out very much, she managed to find some "old" Wedding Anniversary cards for them to exchange - again!  

You will see in the collage that down on the left is a photograph of Mr and Mrs HCB  on their wedding day, and then on the right, a photograph of them taken last year in the lockdown, when they were out for a walk. I don’t think they have changed very much, do you?

Now in order for this to be silly I need to give you some silly statistics, so here they are: 

March 6th 1968 was on a Wednesday 
     and was in week 10 of 1968.
March 6th 1968 was 635 months ago
     2765 weeks ago 
          19354 days ago 
               464,479 hours ago
                    27,868,764 minutes ago
and would you believe 1,672,125,847 seconds ago

PHEW that’s a long time to be married!

Hope you all have a lovely Silly Smoochy Saturday - I think Mr & Mrs HCB are having a meal tonight with champagne and I daresay there might even be chocolates and we know that this would have made Admirer smile!

Love from
Snowy and JH Ted xx 

I think this quote from Randy Pausch in The Last Lecture says it all and we know that Mr and Mrs HCB definitely work hard at making their marriage a good one: 

"All my adult life I've felt drawn 
     to ask long-married couples how 
          they were able to stay together. 
All of them said the same thing: 
     ‘We worked hard at it.’”
