The message on the card that Chris gave me yesterday morning went like this:

With the help of God’s love and grace
We’ve built a pretty sweet life together-
One blessing at a time.

I like that much better than the card I gave her, for it is only by the love and grace of God that our marriage has lasted 52 years and has gotten sweeter as the years go by.

The illustration below shows a number that is two years shy of the actual number. I’ll blame that on COVID. We did live those two years, but out of the public eye a good part of the time.
