My wife, Patty, and I celebrated our 41st anniversary on the 10th of this month. It was a lockdown celebration so we ordered a nice dinner for delivery and watched TV. Yesterday we went and purchased a nice patio swing for each other. I know what you are thinking. "They are a wild and crazy couple."
We started dating in 1975 when I was a sophomore and she was a junior in high school. If you had asked our classmates who would still be married 41 years later they would have picked us last. We were very different. Patty was outgoing and talked a lot. I was very shy.
If you want to celebrate your anniversary or other couples, there are 60 patterns in this pdf. I know there will be a few of you who have longer than 60-year marriages but I had to stop someplace, my hand started hurting. :) I included a blank on the last page
Charlotte and John Henderson celebrated their 80th-anniversary last year to be recognized as the oldest living couple. On their anniversary John was 106 and Charlotte was 105. They do not hold the record for the longest wed couple. That belongs to Zelmyra and Herbert Fisher, who were married for 86 years 290 days before Herbert's death in 2011.

Keep your lungs as healthy as possible. Air filtration is important. This WEN unit has worked well for me. If you are in a small shop like me then this unite turns over enough air. If you are in a larger shop then two of these units are still less expensive that most of the bigger brand units.

- Three-speed operation flows air at a rate of 300, 350, or 400 cubic feet per minute
- Includes a 1-micron filter and a 5-micron pre-filter, both of which can be easily replaced
