By the way, this is Sheryl (formerly sheyrl9). I have a new xanga. Feel free to visit. Thanks.

hi
Awwwww!!! Happy Anniversary! Congratulations on 45 years of wedded bliss. You & Janine are certainly blessed.


As I mentioned before, you and Janine, and Ken and I, were married just a few days apart. That must have been a good time to get married. We all have had 45 wonderful years. And we haven't changed at all in that time, have we????
Congratulations on 45 years
WOW what a lovely couple you two are.
HAPPY ANNIVERSARY

HAPPY ANNIVERSARY

Congradulations! may we all share a love like that someday...
Mes congratulations et tous mes souhaits, Michel, à toi et à Janine. On est en train d'y arriver nous aussi: mon mari et moi, le 30 avril, nous fêterons les 40 ans de marriage. On aurait aimé faire un beau voyage, on pensait d'aller jusqu'à Mont St. Michel que nous n'avons pas encore vu... mais je ne sais pas si l'on y arrivera, il y a déjà trop de dépenses cette année. Peut être la prochaine, si nous ne serons pas encore trop vieux...
Ciao, meilleurs voeux à tous les deux pour d'autres 45-50 ans ensemble, et en bonne santé!
Congratulations, my friend! How wonderful for the both of you! - Rachel
Oh, what a sweet picture. Congratulation on 45 years together as husband and wife. May you continue to be blessed with happiness.
I really appreciated your blog about the horses. for some reason I couldn't get into the comment section the other day.
Well a belated bunch of wishes your way. This Oct. hub and I celebrate our 46th.

many many blessings to you Michel and your beautiful bride. how wonderful for the two of you, your family, and your friends. melinda
Happy Anniversary! Wow 45 years -- I admire you both!
Congratulations, Michel and Jannine! Forty-five years of marriage is a formidable number of years to achieve especially these days with so many marriages ending in divorce. However, your next target, though many would feel it is 50, but in reality, it is your 64th anniversary that is your target. That is what mom and dad celebrated on December 31st. Hey, it is only 19 more years! God bless both of you!
bon anniversaire de mariage à toi et à Janine!
Aww..congrats! I can only dream of 45 years from now! My husband & I have been married a year and a half and THAT has flown by!
God bless you and congratulations again!
Congratulations to you both ---what more can I say--- your picture says it all Ron
Congrats . What a lovely picture. of victorous living. I wish you many more.
Happy Anniversary to you!!!!
Congratulations! I hope that you and Janine have many many more happy years together!
March must be the month to get married! My parents 38th anniversary is today and my grandparents will celebrate their 60th on the 30th of March!
Love is such a blessing
Congratulations!
Love truly is the ultimate gift. You both look so happy Michel, like young lovers! L'amour toujour! -g
Oh, how nice!!! Congratulations! I hope your meal was wonderful and that you had a special time celebrating!
What a joyous celebration for the two of you! I wish you many more years of good health and happiness together.
Of course the very happiest of anniverseries to you and your lovely wife! A truly happy marriage is a blessing, and I wish you both many more years to enjoy each other.
Congratulations on this most special occasion. These days when so many marriages do not last, it is a joy to see a happy, loving and successful marriage. What a wonderful example for your children and all who know you! May you have many more years together.
As ever, Carol Suzanne
congratulations! how lucky you are to have such a wonderful

~Ranah
I hope you celebrate all year long.
How wonderful for both of you! Congratulations.
Vous et votre jolie femme êtes la paire belle et douce. Quarante-cinq ans sont un temps de vie. Bien, mon temps de vie. Je souris parce que vous et votre femme avez été ensemble depuis que j'étais un peu, le bébé très petit. Les félicitations et vous peuvent être ensemble encore quarante-cinq ans.
Happy Anniversary!!!
Yes, Love certainly is a Gift!!!
Blessings and hugs to you and Janine,
Lucy
quarante cinq annees de marriage!! felicitations!!!!!!!!!
L'amour, c'est delicieux!
Felicitations, mes amis! Love makes time fly, I think! Actually, it is only that we enjoy the adventure of life when we are accompanied by someone who loves us, and whom we love. Joy for the journey. We will celebrate our 34th anniversary in a few weeks!
RYC: underneath the screen on the Chris Bliss site, there is a right arrow. Click on that, and the video should start in a few moments. It is amazing to see!
My parents just celebrated their 54th anniversary. My grandparents had 60 years together. It takes a special pair and just looking at you both it's obvious how well your work together and how much you love one another. Congratulations and here is a toast to many more. Cheers!
Love, Brenda
Cher Michel, Félicitations à toi et Janine! C'est une photo pleine de joie et d'amour. En fait, je vois l'amour écrit sur votres visages. Vous êtes très heureux et je vous donne mes meilleux voex.
Happy Belated Anniversary!!!
It is wonderful to know that some marriages can last this long, and still be happy one's. You are right, love is a gift to be appreciated. Wishing many more happy years to you and Janine.
Thanks for your comment on my addiction. I think that singing would be a wonderful thing to be addicted to.
I also love to sing, but not sure others would want to listen.
Love
Edie Rose
Love lasts, as yours so aptly demonstrates.
Congratulations Michel may you and your beautiful wife celebrate many more happy anniversaries.
Félicitations à tous les deux vous. Aimez qui est véritable est le meilleur cadeau de tous. Anniversaire Heureux! Concernant votre commentaire : Je ne sais pas encore ce qui est erroné, mais vous remercie de votre souci.
Congratulations to both of you! Love that is genuine is the best gift of all. Happy Anniversary! Regarding your comment: I do not yet know what is wrong, but thank you for your concern.
Bon anniversaire à Michel et Janine! I'm delighted to hear of this. Let me also offer my good wishes to you both—and to your lovely children and grandchildren
ryc: Unfortunately I have only rudimentary knowledge of the beautiful French (and Romance) language(s). And I agree that the mind, though unitary, is in an essential mutual contact and interaction with the world also.
Sorry I'm late in visiting your celebration. What a great photo of two people in love.
You both look so happy.
What a great day and what a way to celebrate it.
Only the two of you facing the ocean. What a picture( mentally I mean).
And now you are heading for the 50.
Felicitations.
You don't need to make comments again on the e book. We are just experimenting the new possibilities. You are very kind. Thanks.
Hi Michel! Wow...forty-five years. That's so wonderful. Congratulations to you and Janine. That is a beautiful photograph of the two of you!
I'm so happy for you both.
Paula
that's beautiful - congratulations to both of you!
Congratulations! ^_^
Michel,
The good news is that I received an invitation for an interview from a medical school. An interview greatly improves my chances of being admitted. So, I'm excited about that.
There are some hinderances in other parts of my life, but this news gives me hope that things can change pleasantly in no time.
Thanks.
Sheryl
I did think that you would of gone to St Valery when you said it was by the sea
wow, congratulations! what a great picture of you two!
Congratulations, Michel and Janine! May your have another 45 years of bliss!
True love lasts a life time!

Happy 45th! Oh, I so enjoyed seeing your site again. It's been so long-- I'm getting reacquainted after being gone from xanga for some time.
mes félicitations
i hope that you will get even happier with each other as the years progress

45 years. Such a wonderful milestone. Congratulations.
Wah!
This is so wonderful! I can't imagine how it's like.. wow... 45 years.. BON ANNIVERSAIRE!
I agree that many young parents do not know these things so that is why I share them. Judi
How wonderful. Happy Anniversary to you both. Warren and I are just a couple years behind you at 43 years and counting.
How very blessed to have forty five years together...each year a gift in growing, accepting, learning, sharing....and tolerance too I suppose.....How thankful I am for my dear husband and how I look forward to growing with him as we age! much love, shanna
Oh wow congratulations! I am so happy for you!
~*Sazzy*~
Congratulations!!!! I just celebrated my 2nd and can't imagine another year let alone 40+!!!
yay!!!! congratulations! at your request i have added pictures of elijah that actually have me and brandon in them. not just pieces of us =) come by and see!
you are quite obviously blessed
Congratulations!
A big congratulations to you both. I can remember a time when a marriage that lasted 50 years was to be honored now a marriage that last a year is looked upon with surprise. Times have changed and not all for the better. Couples give up too easily these days. I love the pic of you both such happiness can be seen. Your love is indeed a great gift to celebrate. May your love continue to always grow and I believe it always will.
Shirley ...... now I am going to check for any post I have missed.
Well Happy Anniversary to you both!!! So wonderful to love each other for so many years. Marriages like yours are an inspiration for couples like us. We are 22 years married - had many ups and downs - but with each one I think we became stronger. Still.....it seems to be a challenge for young ones today. Beautiful picture, you look very happy.
Forgive me for being late with my congratulations on your 45th anniversary!!! When I hear of long-lived anniversaries, I harken back to my maternal grandparents 50th. When my mom, my grandmother and me were alone, my grandmother was so upset. she said, "I want to diVORCE that man!" All we could do was laugh--after 50 years?! LOL. Many blessings to you.
What a lovely photo!
What a lovely wife!
What a lovely day!
What a lovely life!
I miss so much when I get too busy to visit. Happy Anniversary to two very beautifu people. You look so comfortable and loving. I, too, like to watch horses romp, but the fences and hedges are there for their own safety, like the constraints we put on children. Adults are free, but subject to our internal constraints. All the best wishes to you two and your family.
Judy
Congratulations.
Love, indeed, is a gift to appreciate. I am happy for you both.
Happy Anniversary.
Congratulations!!! You guys look so happy together. That is awesome. We should all be so lucky as to celdrate 45 with such joy in our eyes. Here's to 45 more!!!
Heureux Anniversaire de Mariage !

the picture on my banner on my page is actually Ralph Fiennes, its from one of my favorite movies, The Constant Gardnener. The scene is actually more beautiful in the movie, it doesn't translate very well into a banner as my photoshopping skills aren't quite what they should be!
Congratulations on 45 years! That is truly wonderful! You're an inspiriation!
Blessings!
Meg
Encore 10 ans et on y sera au 45ans de mariage.Rendez-vous pour le 50ieme

Marie asked that I tell you about our benediction mass. The priest brings out the monstrance to the altar and we bless it. It is a lovely mass. Marie says they have one but it is different and that you could explain it to me. Would you mind?
