58 Years!

On August 16th, my parents headed north on route 101 through Oregon and toward Washington. Mom and Dad decided to see if they could go back to work, and what better place than the Tillamook Creamery, driving a cheese truck? But as you can see, the driving test did not go well. The road should have had a guard rail.

Maybe they could go back to work as actors? Wait, they don’t do “Laurel & Hardy” films anymore! 😂

Here’s Dad and Mom now, married 58 years, and living their best lives!

Mom and Dad, 60 years ago, on June 9, 1963, which happened to be their very first date. 🤍🌺

My only regret is that I was not there in person to capture the Tillamook moment. 😂 The photo was taken by Kari, who is one of my sisters. 🤍🌺

Thank you for reading, liking, lurking, and commenting. I appreciate you!

Oh my gosh Kymber, how beautiful and what a blessing! 🙏🏼 Now, you don’t find marriages that last that long these days…through the good, the bad and the crazy! Thanks for sharing these beautiful memories my friend! 🥰💖😍

Thank you, chickiepie! My parents have definitely set a good example for our family. I’m truly blessed to have them. Also, they’re often hilarious to be around. 😀 🤍🌺

Oh how I love their youthful attitude. Yes girl, I agree with you, what a blessing they are! 😊🙏🏼🤗

I often forget how old they are. My dad turned 80 this year, but to me, he just doesn’t act or look 80. My mom is 76 and I feel the same way about her.

Congratulations to your parents! 58 years is no small feat! Because you and your sister are here I can tell that they raised a lovely family and I’m sure you must be proud of how far they’ve come since that picture of their first date all those years ago ❤️

Jonathan Caswell September 4, 2023 - 3:19 pm

how about a Chevy Scooter through 90 mph traffic—we could barely handle 60—on the Connecticut Turnpike? THAT was a scary rip!

Kymber Hawke September 4, 2023 - 3:25 pm

I bet! 😂
