1. Aww, isn't that sweet!

Love'em both.

[malaise]

4. Watched him this morning talking about his new book

and saying that what makes marriage work is giving each other space - I agree 100%.
The smiles in the photo were genuine - they still smile.

17. I try

but my wife keeps finding me

[wendylaroux]

2. Yes that is very sweet!

look how young!

(((((I love them both))))

they are same ages my parents would be.

[malaise]

3. I wasn't even born when they got married

and yes both my parents are dead. Dad would have been 102 this coming December and mom 99 in November.
What's really sweet is that they are both alive and in fairly good health to celebrate this amazing milestone.

[wendylaroux]

5. Absolutely!

It is amazing

[TBF]

6. My parents were born in the mid-40s

Great photo!

[malaise]

10. Ha - you're a baby

[TBF]

12. Well I still love Jimmy Carter :)

I do remember when he was president (barely!)

[malaise]

13. LOL

Big Carter fan here especially re big oil

22. My father was born in 1947

Same year my favorite fountain pen was made- my Parker51 with gold filled cap. It is a first quarter 1947- the same quarter he was conceived (purely coincidental)

7. and many more years of love, health and happiness to this amazing couple!

8. They got married aprox 3 months before I was born....

Happy Anniversary Jimmy and Rosalynn

9. Wonder if they thought of those "lucky 7's" when they picked their date.

July 7th. 7/7.

Well, WE are all the luckier that the two of them came this way.

As America slowly revives from having tied one on and then being left to stagger on through a horrendous and painful policy hangover from the reagan era, I suspect Jimmy Carter will stand taller and taller. At the same time, the almighty reagan will shrivel. Already we're learning how damaging reagan's policies and his "legacy" were.

11. Was great to hear him this morning mentioning the fact that

although he negotiated the hostage release, they were not released until Reagan was sworn in. Poppy Bush holds some mighty secrets.

[calimary]

15. I'll just bet ol' bush1 does. Wonder if we'll ever get all the dirty details?

[malaise]

27. They only talk about his socks these days

What was the name of Nixon's dog again??

[calimary]

30. Checkers.

[Hekate]

14. Blessings to them both for all the good they have done for humanity

[logosoco]

16. What a sweet photo!

They are some good people!

18. K&R!

[panader0]

19. K and R

[63splitwindow]

20. K&R- a man and woman of ACTUAL faith...

... NOT cheap, shallow histrionics...

[malaise]

25. I agree with the no histrionics part

but since I am an atheist I won't comment on the faith part. For me they are two very decent human beings

21. my parents would have celebrated their 52nd today

my dad passed in 2012 and my mom passed in 2004.

[malaise]

24. Dad died a few weeks before their 40th anniversary

and we thought they were together forever.

[dsc]

28. It always will hurt

but hurt less over time. At least we all hope that.

[malaise]

29. I think those of us who accept that death is an inevitable part of life

handle it better.

[calimary]

31. True. And for many, the belief in an afterlife - where you somehow live on,

and you are reunited with your loved ones - helps a lot, too.

From what I've read, Harry Houdini was determined to report back, after he made that leap himself. People still do seances trying to reach him. So far, in vain. I find myself thinking that I'd do that, too, but if Harry Houdini couldn't manage it, I have serious doubts about my own ability to be successful in that pursuit.

[malaise]

32. Many of my relatives and friends believe in an afterlife

I subscribe to the view that folks have a right to believe what they want as long as they don't try imposing it on others.

[red dog 1]

23. K&R

I admire them both very much.
