Yeah, this couple has been an inspiration to me over the years. They married in '34 and I think she was 16 and he was 19 and they had been married 73 or 74 years when he passed away. She is still in very good shape to be in her early '90's. She's told me several times about how they didn't have a car for the first several years of their marriage and that there were many times when they wondered how they would make it. She said that they built their current home in 1950 and could not have done that had their parents not offered to help. She was showing me their dining room suit and explained how they bought it one piece at a time as they could afford it. I was explaining to her about how most folks in my age group think they are entitled to the best of everything from the start and that none of them know how to work through their problems without getting a divorce. She replied that these kids today don't know the half of it and she added that if she and her husband ran to divorce court the first time they got in an argument, they would not have been married long. I just think about them being able to make their marriage last for 70+ years, while most people in my early '30's age group are already on their 2nd or 3rd marriage with a whole string of maxed out credit cards where they bought all these "things" to try and impress people.
Anyway, here's the poor TV.
