has it been that LONG already?

I can't believe we're going on 39 yrs of marriage where has the time went? I thank god everyday for the yrs we've been married & yes it's not been easy from day 1. But now that we are both retired I can't say it's all that bad as it use to be, when we 1st started out it was rough to say the lest, he was a truck driver driving a semi across the states & he had NO interest in me working so that was hard. So I did whatever I could to make some side $ while he was out on the road, 1 was cleaning house's, that didn't do so well people didn't like the idea of 10$ a hr for 3 hrs work so that failed. Then I started raising rabbits & that took of like a rocket, the old saying "they breed like rabbits" ? YEAH that's JUST what happened, I was in a off city limits area just off the LINE of a city in Fla, & man oh man it was a real blast at 1st. I stayed raising rabbits for like 10-15 yrs & after the hurricanes took me out 3 different times that's when I finally called it quits & we moved out of Fla to Indiana & haven't gotten back in the rabbit business since. I miss doing the rabbits but with my health & where we live I don't see ever getting back into it again + with the winters we have, no I'll pass, now I'm going to work on fish & see what I can do with them for the rest of what life I have left till I can't do it anymore. I'm still "SOMEWHAT" young enough to get something going, I'd hate to think I spent the kind of $ I have getting the shelter built buying the fish & everything to make a stab at it & I don't get past the front door with it. I know most may be thinking there's a lot of work in keeping fish but really it's no more work than washing dish's, vacuuming, mopping the floors, all in a day of cleaning house. I have to have something to keep me busy if something was to happen to my better 1/2 1 day & I'm left to pick up the piece, so why not take a stab at having fish to take care of & being I'm building a 17x15 foot shelter for it it won't hard to take care of them everyday. So what do you get for being married this long?
