Tomorrow, my wife and I will be married for 60 years. Can anyone top that? Most of our friends and relatives have assumed room temperature. Everyone else has a long way to go.

    I feel like such a rookie (only 45 years).

    Congratulations.

    True, but the seafood restaurant we were at was hard to beat. They started as a fish market and evolved into a restaurant as well. They have 2 boats and catch their own fish, shrimp & scallops. Also, they really know how to cook them.

    if you can find a safe place, it's still fun -- and food always
    tastes better outside, compared with inside!!! -- j

    You're right on, there. I particularly loved Skelton. Some of his aphorisms are priceless: "Beauty may be skin deep, but ugly is to the bone."

    What a coincidence. My son, along with wife granddaughter (my great)and mother-in-law pulled in with his Ford 250 diesel towing his camper coming in from camping over the weekend. The old Scoutmaster still loves to camp.

    years ago, on another honeymoon, my first wife and I had
    bananas foster at brennan's in new orleans. . we drove in
    from a camping area north of lake pontchartrain, parked our
    truck in a free spot, walked around the corner, and acted
    like we owned the place. . she was 18 and I was 22.
    breakfast for royalty!!! -- j

    Tonight we celebrated our 60th with the family and a surprise great granddaughter in from Texas. I not only overate, but it was Fried too. Plus when the restaurant people found out what we were celebrating they sent us over a double helping of Bananas Foster. I'll be thinking of that all week.

    since we'd done that -- and it was fun!!! . watching TCM
    and being silly with my best friend -- WoW!!! -- j

    Burns, Benny, Skelton,Jonathan Winters; the
    greats; not a foul word ever spoken, and hilarious to boot. Compare that to the low-class
    comics today who can't perform without using the "F" word. Ugh!!

    I take mine from H. Rider Haggard: "She who must be obeyed." In Detroit, we had a phrase that illustrates that. It's called "Kidding on the square." She's always on a diet, so as a result she's pretty well preserved for 81 in October. She makes me diet also, but I cheat.

    Reminds me of the old George Burns joke when he turned 90. "I still chase the ladies. Sometimes I run out of breath and stop and wonder what I'm doing. Then I remember and make myself a sandwich."

    How did the 90-year-old bride and her 92-year-
    old husband spend their wedding night?? Helping each other in and out of the car.

    An oldie:
    The MC spots an ancient looking guy, with a wrinkled face, an emaciated body and he walked with a cane. The MC had him stand up and he asked, "To what do you attribute your great age?" The guy answered, "I drink a 4/5 of Corby's whiskey every day, I'm a 3 pack a day smoker plus several cigars a day, I eat nothing but high calorie fatty foods and use 4 or 5 teaspoons of sugar in my coffee." The MC says, "Why, that's remarkable. May I ask how old you are sir?" The guy answered "I'm 27."

    Yes. She always looked younger than me. (We're the same age). In our 40s I often got "is that your daughter?" Grrr.

    In a Vegas audience years ago, newly-weds
    were spotted and asked to rise. The MC
    asked how long were they married, and the
    groom replied "2 weeks" - MC: "What's your
    secret?" Audience roared!!

    We went to a ritzy Italian place. Food was very good and all, but actually we're more Olive Garden types We're upper middle but with red-neck tastes.
