A tribute
This week's column is a tribute to all
those married couples in our area who
have celebrated or will be celebrating
marriages that have lasted anywhere
from 25 to 60 years. The column will be
written from a woman's point of view,
afterall it is MY column, however I will
try to insert a man's point of view here
and there, just to keep all the males at
bay. 'I do not need a line up of men out-
side my door .on Wednesday morning
spouting I was unfair. And I do realize
that the female species can be difficult to
live with at times, but not nearly as hard
as living with the male species!
Having been married for a little over
21 years, to the same kind-hearted,
understanding, gorgeous, sexy man,
(Browiie points here for sure!) I will use
21 as my multiplier.
I figure over my time as a wife and
companion I have picked up 5,460 pair of
socks..I was kind and gracefully conced-
ed that Mr. Fixit probably picked up two
pair .a week. Multiply 5,460 by two and
that means that I have turned the right
way, washed and folded 10,920 socks dur-
ing my marriage. Allowing 12 inches per
sock, that means the number of socks my
lily white hands have cared for would ex-
tend
xtend 2.07 miles. That's a lot of sock and
I allowed only one pair per day, when
often there were two 'pairs!
Now if I was fortunate enough to have
my .pantyhose last longer than one day
(remember my big toe), and had wash-
ed them out each night and hung them
on the shower rod, Mr. Fixit would have
had -to duck 5,460 pair of pantyhose. But
then„I'm not that "fortunate so Mr. Fixit
got off easy on that one.
I have replaced the toothpaste cap, for
Mr. Fust, at least 7,644 times during our
maI have rriage.
the sheets on our bed
over 1100 times -and have woke up beside
the same man over 7,600 mornings!

ANBLINGS
by Pat Livingston
Ok guys now for your side. Figure out
how many nights you Burled up to cold
feet, rollers in the hair (pre -Burling iron
days), how many flat tires you changed
for your spouse, how many times you
found the gas tank empty, how many
times the bank book was out of balance.
Well ladies, that wasn't too bad was it?
I got all of our idiosyncrasies in one
sentence and I know all of them will not
apply to each of us!
Now the male in the office is giving me
his opinions - women who leave the tops
loose on jars (alsoapplies to men), flan-
nelette nighties and headaches.
With all the little quirks we human be-
ings have, it is quite a fete for marriages
to last as long as they do. I remember
hearing that the first year of marriage
was the hardest to get through. What was
meant by that I'm not sure. The first
year should still be the honeymoon time.
It is obvious that a good number of
couples have given a lot of love and
understanding to make their marriages
last up to 60 years. So to all those
celebrating a special anniversary this
year, I tip my hat to you!

We promise to love .and honour each
other for, did you say 60 years?
