An Anniversary.
Today is the 24th June here in New Zealand.
On this day forty-eight years ago Rosalie Jennifer Young said ''I do," and thereby agreed to marry John David Norton.
Forty-eight years is a bloody long time, we've had our problems, we've had good times, and some not so good.
And some downright horrible; staring bankruptcy in the face and the very real threat of losing everything on more than one occasion.
But somehow we got through; with a lot of lateral thinking and sheer hard physical work...both of us working 100 hrs. per week, seven days a week, 52 weeks a year, for many years.
And we're still together; and both of us are happy to be so...She said this morning that She thinks I just might be a keeper; to which I replied: "Well if you're ever going to be leaving home I'm coming too!"
Thanks for our kids and all the good times missus...you're a keeper too.johnboy
