Our 20th Wedding Anniversary (6/23/01-6/23/21)


Hello Blog Friends:   These two little ones were both born in 1942.  They lived in two different states and didn't even meet until both of them were age 59.  Both had great lives before they met  BUT--when they finally met,  their lives became even more enriched--TOGETHER!!!!  WOW---what an awesome 20 years this has been for that little girl!!!!   


I truly met one of nicest, most generous, most loving men in the world!  Thank you, George, for coming into my life  and making me an extremely happy and blessed woman.  Hope we can make it for another 20 years!!!!   Now as we begin our 21st year, let's keep on laughing, loving and searching for waterfalls!!!!  I love and adore you,  George Emery Adams!!!!


Hope you enjoy seeing my pictures today --with just a sampling of how great this 20 years has been.  Stop on each picture,  click on it --and my explanation will pop up!!!!!  ENJOY!!













Finally,  here is our latest picture,  taken along the Blue Ridge Parkway in North Carolina ON our Anniversary (June 23, 2021).  We spent several days of celebration last week at the Pisgah Inn (near Asheville, NC)...  Had a fantastic time!!!

******************

One more piece of GREAT NEWS:   While we were celebrating in Pisgah,  son Mark and his gal,  Robin,  were vacationing in Charleston, SC.  On OUR Anniversary,  Mark gave Robin a RING--and she said YES!!!!!  George and I are SO happy for both of them... They've been together for quite awhile --and are inseparable!!!  They have so many interests in common.  One of them is to jump into that little red jeep and head out on an adventure!  They take George and me with them VIRTUALLY.   We love it...  Congrats to Mark and Robin!!!!

Here's an adorable picture of a Happy Lady!!!  Mark took Robin to Folly Beach, South Carolina, at sunrise and got on his knees!!!!  (He had asked her two sons -both in their 20's-- ahead of time --asking for their Mom's hand in marriage.)  How cute is that!!!! 

Hope you have an awesome week ahead and Happy 4th of July! 

Hugs,

Betsy💝💛💚💕

Twenty more years won't be enough for me. How about at least twice that?

I don’t think any two people could be happier together than you and George. It is encouraging to see this. Wishing you many more years together to celebrate your love.

You both made it so lovely up till now, and hopefully, furthermore, delightful years together. Your images are proof of how intimate you were - all these years - without a bit of decrease in love, and I wish your son and his girlfriend a happy wedding as well.

Very happy for Robin and Mark. I Know how much you love those kids. what a wonderful time. I love all your phoots. I keep reminding my sweetheart that we need more photos. I have been working on our wedding wall. WHen Rebekah married Zach in 2017 she gave each of us a beautiful hankerchiefe with a personal message on them. Hannah has a little business and she made us shadow boxes to add these too. Now if I can remember where I put our large wedding photo so I can hang it on the wall heeheehee. Noelle had us made a wedding chart of what was going on in 1984 when we married. I am trying to get everything hung up. Say a prayer that I can locate our wedding photo too. Take care and enjoy the weekend.
HUGS and LOVE
