I went to a lovely anniversary party Saturday for some friends who have been married - yes, to each other, for fifty years. Their children threw them a spectacular "do" at the home of the eldest daughter in Litchfield Park. Lots of friends, lots of family, lots of food and lots to celebrate.
They are an inspiration.
We met in the mid-'70s. I had been working at a major Phoenix law firm and when one of the partners was appointed to the state court of appeals, I went along as her judicial secretary. That's what we were called back in the olden days - the title is more impressive now (and the work is probably more challenging). Martha worked in the judge's office next door - and we became friends pretty quickly. What's nice is that we have STAYED friends - although it has been over 30 years that we've worked together.
This couple have stayed in their home while my husband and I have moved eleven times (I think) since we met. The number is a little foggy - but I'm pretty sure seven cities are involved. They've upgraded their upgrades, and added gorgeous features - including a kitchen any chef would be proud of. It's more than a home - more like a compound. Nicely done.
They know the meaning of friendship too - they're letting me represent them in an investment property purchase. Their trust pleases me no end.
Great people - celebrating the golden years ....
