10. Happy Birthday, Ben!

You're looking pretty good there, not 85-ish!

Hope you have as many birthdays as you want!

[CaliforniaPeggy]

14. Thanks so much, my dear 2naSalit!

As I mentioned to usonian, we've always had young faces! We looked like teenagers when we got married, and we were both in our 20's!

We would both like to see him have more birthdays!

11. Congratulations and best wishes to your husband!

You guys are an inspiration to me. I'm 74, my husband is 73, and we celebrated out 50th anniversary Memorial Day weekend. If we're still going as strong as you two are in our mid 80s, we will consider ourselves very fortunate!

[CaliforniaPeggy]

16. Love your graphic, my dear ShazzieB! So cute!

All I can say: take care of your health! Mental and physical: those are key!

We're still working at those too.

13. Peggy, you and I have something wonderful.....

in common.....husbands who are both 85! It doesn't seem so very long ago that we were in our 40's and 50's. I guess time really does "fly"!
Happy "special" Birthday, Ben

[CaliforniaPeggy]

17. That is truly wonderful! Thank you for your lovely thoughts, my dear young_at_heart!

We're always amazed at how many decades we've live through. Time sure does fly!

29. Happy Birthday Ben!

Looks like you had a fabulous celebration! Stop looking so young, you’re putting all of us to shame!!!

What a gorgeous cake. Everything looks scrumptious.

TY for sharing, dear Peggy!

[CaliforniaPeggy]

32. Thanks for your beautiful wishes, my dear Diamond_Dog!

I served him some of his favorite foods and we both enjoyed our dinners immensely. He tells me he could eat scallops every night!

And you know, he and I have always had young faces. When we got married, we looked like teenagers, but we were in our twenties!

You know how much I love to share. How could I not?
