    Does anyone know....

    ...what it cost to have 3 dozen red roses delivered? I do, and it is worth every penny to put a smile on my wife's face!

    Today we celebrate 36 years together. That wonderful woman has not only put up with me all this time but has given me 32 of the happiest years of my life!

        Congratulations!

        I'm wondering about your math as well. Or maybe it was 35 years and 6 months, and the other 6 just seemed like 4 years?

            Congrats to both of you. I think marriages lasting that long are on the endangered species list. You've both made it work. My hat's off to you.

              The math is right to the best of my recollection. At least one was pure ****, the other 3 I was drunk.

              Seriously, to stay by my side all these years she has to be a pure saint! Marty Robbins wrote "My Woman, My Wife" about his wife. It could have easily been about mine but I tell her our song should be Spade Cooley's "Detour".

                  I love that. There's probably several of us who think it could pertain to our wives.

                    Hope you have many more Don. It takes both of you going in the same direction to have a marriage last that long.

                      I don't know what it costs to have roses delivered, but I bet it is nothing compared to the cost of not having them delivered...

                        I don't buy live roses anymore. For all the gift times, along with a gift, I give silk type roses set up differently. I find them in gift type stores and they all will last for years. Started this about 10 years ago. No two are the same. Some are encased in a glass cover, while others are small or large arrangements. Her favorite so far is one that is a single rose totally immersed in a clear solid water drop about 3" high.
