65 YEARS
I was in Pennsylvania this past weekend for the 65th Wedding Anniversary of my grandparents on my mothers side of the family.
In many way I am still trying to wrap my brain around the idea of actually doing anything for 65 straight years. Just being alive for 28 years is a lot to me but to think that two people have been married for more than twice that long is absolutely amazing.
Just for the fun of it, I figured out that since my grandparents were married in 1942:
- There have been 12 different Presidents
- The U.S. Population has grown from 123 million to 300 million
- There have been 15 Summer Olympic games
- Two states (Alaska and Hawaii) were admitted to the U.S.
AND
- The Yankees have won 17 World Series titles
Absolutely Stunning ...
