Guest guest Posted April 19, 2009 Report Share Posted April 19, 2009 Jack... people are always surprised when they find out Rich and I are married only 16 years. They say we look like we've 'always been together'. It feels that way too. MamaSher; 70, IPF 3-06, OR. NasturtiumsDon't fret about tomorrow, God is already there!
