Happy Anniversary baby, got you on my mind …

Posted By RichC on June 5, 2014

Well … here’s the song that came to my mind since today is our wedding anniversary. It hardly seems possible that Brenda and I have been married to 1-another, with 2-kids, 3-houses, 4-boats, 5-siblings, 6-“blah, blah blah” … well you get the picture … for 32-wonderful years.
