49 years ago today - 03/22/20 02:40 PM
Rhonda and I aloped. What's amazing is that she still puts up with me. Life together has been great, and hoping for more. Early on we were frugal. I recall when we stocked up on spaghetti O's when they were on sale five cans for a dollar. We lived in a one bedroom duplex at 434 North Summerlin Ave, Orlando, Florida when stationed at McCoy AFB. Rent was $130 a month. I'll bet it would be a bit higher now, but that was back in 1971. Just reminiscing a bit.

Happy Anniversary!
I well remember the days of eating meatless spaghetti, etc...
(might be heading back to them!)

Always like that shot, Mr Paul.
Hey, spaghetti O's are Patrice's favourite fast treat meal , still !
Nothing wrong with using a frugal rental to get a toehold , then look for where you wanted to finally land.
Happy time to run away with plans, no wasting time

Why is it that we remember fondly the financially trying early days of marriage? I can vividly.
Congrats Paul, I'm 8 years behind you.

Congratulations Boss Man and Rhonda. Celebrate what’s yours.
Life is good. The Elsners’ marriage is almost at the 16 year mark. I reflect on the man she has helped me become and it humbles me.
Gotta love it.

Happy Anniversary to you both, that is heck of an accomplishment. I tell my students we will see less of these long term anniversaries as people wait to marry, and divorce at greater rates.

Happy Anniversary you guys! (Side note from the spelling police: "alope" in greek mythology was the daughter of Cercyon, and known for her great beauty).
