On another note, today is our 39th Anniversary. We were actually married on a Tuesday. We eloped and got married in Reno, Nevada. My husband was in the Marine Corps and had just gotten back to the States from Viet Nam the second time. He wasn't due to be home until August but was in the early pull outs that the President ordered. I happened to be in Sacramento visiting relatives and he was in southern Calif. so he called me and came up to Sacramento and my cousin took us to Reno and we got married. We were then going to meet back in NY and gather things to go to his next duty station, Oak Harbor, Washington but I ended up going back to Santa Anna, Calif. with him and we spent 3 months there having the time of our lives. We always said we never had a honeymoon but I think the 3 months such a great time that I like to think that was a honeymoon. And here we are 39 years later. Now I had better get back to quilting.

Happy Anniversary! Great story!
That's a very pretty quilt you've got there.
Happy Anniversary! What a great memory. We didn't have a honeymoon either. Guess it was the times. We just didn't have the money for a honeymoon. We'll have been married 37 years in July. I love that postage stamp quilt.
We'll be married 39 years in Aug. We got married before our senior year of college. Ron had a high number - something we had to explain to our kids a few years ago. Great quilt! I can't imagine the amount of time put into that.

Happy Anniversary, Marlene!!!! Wow 39 years.... amazing! You have been married longer than I have been alive. But I definitely do not feel the generational gap with you. Blessings to both of you!
