Happy Annivesary Cathy!!!!

Today is a very memorable day in my life. Forty years ago today I married the love of my life, Cathy Jo. We were both young and in the military, stationed in San Antonio, TX. Years later we would have our second son born in San Antonio also, the first being born in Madrid, Spain, while we were both still serving our country. Our life has taken us many different and diverse places. We have lived in Spain, England, Greenland, and most recently, Anchorage, Alaska.

I can’t think of another woman I would have wanted to do this with. We are as entwined as a ball of yarn. I do not know what I would do without her and I don’t even want to think about that. She has been my copilot since we started RV’ing but more importantly she has been my copilot in life. I don’t mean second in command either but as an equal. I admire her for the things she has done in life and respect her immensely.

My boys ask me how we do it and the one word that comes to mind is compromise. We each put each other first and everything seems to work out great. I can’t wait to celebrate our Golden anniversary as others of you have. She may not get around to reading this but that’s OK too as I tell her this almost daily. Cathy, I Love You………

Happy anniversary Phil & Cathy. We are celebrating our sixth anniversary today and I tell Vickie that I love her every day. I'll be 106 when we celebrate our fiftieth. We've already started making plans.

Congratulations to the two of you. We are not too far behind you with 38 years next month. Can you imagine what RV'ing would be like if the team wasn't "entwined as a ball of yarn"?
