Happy 42nd Mark & Miss Joanie.  Rummaging through antique stores is great fun.  I usually end up finding needful things.

Sometimes our life is blessed by those we meet along the way!  I don't know of any one couple that have helped make life better for so many people and especially without asking for anything in return.  Congratulations to Pappy and Miss Joanie for being there for us!  Joe

Thank you Joe and you are right I feel very blessed. Thanks guy for the well wishes, Miss Joanie read all of them and much appreciated it. We had a great weekend, just to get away for a few days with nothing special to do, just go and look and do what every you want. Pretty cool for a change. We started Friday evening out to eat then headed to west KY. Saturday morning to the shops we like. We didn't find much but I did manage to come up with a few pretty cool old tools. The boy that works for me in the shop started out the week by giving me and old hand drill that was his Grand Fathers, he didn't want it and knew I loved old tools. New wind shield came in for my Kobota, didn't get it in but plan to this week. :)

Nice to see how the rich folks live once in a while, they even had a bed with mirrors on the inside top, had to get a picture of that. >:D They said it was where Barbra and her hubby could see each other while the read. Ya right.  :)

Congratulations to you both!  Glad to hear you had a good time.  I would say that I hope to be so lucky to still have my marriage 30 yrs from now, but  chalking up 42 years to luck would be selling you short.  It'll take a lot more than luck to accomplish that achievement.  Once again congratulations!  Josh
