Traditional Conservative principles proven correct once again.

Hubby would have to make it to the age of 112 and me 106 to tie that record! And I'll betcha he'd STILL be a Hubba Hubba at 112. ;)

What a great story! Looks like they are still giggling like school kids when they hold hands. And he was quite the handsome devil back in the 1920’s.

Truly blessed is this delightful couple ... may Jesus Christ be Praised! Job 12:10 ~ “In His hand is the life of every living thing, and the breath of all mankind.” Indeed...I think that if everyone were to listen to their wisdom, the world would be a far happier place. :-)

First time I ever saw a couple look better in old age than younger. lol. I am sorry but that picture of them in 1928 is fugly!!!! They are a great couple though. How lucky for their oldest child 78 still have both parents...what a gift!!!!LMAO
Yes I'm afraid Mr. Milford looks slightly rumpled, doesn't he?
It just goes to show that oftentimes the most valuable gems are hidden in the most plain of purses. I can think of numerous spectacularly beautiful people I've known who have had absolutely miserable and oftentimes short marriages.
Hopefully all of their children and grandchildren as well as everyone who reads their story will follow their fine example in life.

Being a single stoat (sad sigh), I regret that can't come back with a meaningful rejoinder based upon my own experiences.
It seems, however, that you have found a way to breathe when you need to. I think that when General Patton found a solid, working plan, he wasn't one to change it for no reason. :-)
