Golden Anniversary (Um, that’s 50 years)
June 22, 2007
I hope to be married long enough (heck, alive long enough) to maim anyone who even considers giving this to me and George as a 50th Anniversary Gift. Well, if I’m actually capable of maiming people once I near 80. Would vehicular maiming count?
The real issue here isn’t that your nearly-senior-citizen kids got you a blanket, but that it shows two doves holding an olive branch. Because 50 years of marriage is reminiscent of the Middle East peace process.
You can get this from Wellhaven Gifts for Seniors (sold via Amazon.com) for just $27.99. Now that I know it is from a store for seniors it all makes sense. After all, if you’ve got Alzheimer’s or dementia, it helps if your blanket reads “50th Anniversary” at least 8 times.

Tom, if it will bring a smile to someone’s face, then go for it.

The good thing about dementia is that you meet somebody new everyday.

I will cling to the hilarious quip comparing 50 years of marriage to the Middle East peace process throughout the tedium of my in-laws upcoming [weekend-long] anniversary celebration. I also have no doubt that one of these adult bankies will probably make an appearance.
