This January we will have been married 48 years. Tom says he has been
married 48 years but not to the same woman. It's the same for me. We have
both changed but, fortunately, have remained very compatible through all of
life's changes and surprises. I think the diversity has made our marriage
stronger through 42 moves (several to different continents), 4 children,
and 4 grandchildren. Now we are working ourselves to death on this farm
that we both love. Blessed are the flexible for they shall not be bent out
of shape!
