  •                                 46 ans de mariage .
                     Married 46 years ago .


    English version below the pictures


    Dimanche dernier Janine et moi avons célébré nos 46 ans de mariage ( 18 Février 1961 ) . 
    Ce fut très simple : un repas à deux dans un bon restaurant près de la mer à l ' heure du midi
    puis nous sommes allés rendre visite au père de Janine , 94 ans ,ans une maison de retraite non loin . 
     J ' ai pensé réunir deux photos de Janine .
    L 'une en noir et blanc a été prise en 1960 au cours d 'une promenade dans un chemin dans la campagne . C ' est une des photos que je préfère .
     L autre photo a été prise au restaurant "  la Mouette " après le repas .Dimanche dernier
    Janine n ' a pas beaucoup changé .
    Je la vois toujours comme au premier jour .

      Last Sunday we celebrated our 46th wedding anniversary ( February 18, 1961 )
     It was simple : a meal at a great restaurant by the sea  at midday .
    then we visited Janine 's father who lives in a nursing home no far . He is 94
    Here is two pictures of Janine
    The first in black and white has been taken in 1960 during a walk in the country side .
    It ' s one of the pictures , I prefer.
    The second has been taken at the restaurant " La Mouette ( the seagul ) ; last Sunday after the meal .
    Janine has not much changed .
    I always see her like she was on the first day .



     




    This morning I had difficulties to get up : my body was achy and I had fever . The doctor told me it was the flu .This makes you down!
    Ce matin j ' a éprouvé des difficultés pour me lever . Courbatures et fièvre ,. Le medecin a dit que j ' avais la grippe . Ceci vous abat

  • You are right. She is beautiful like the first day when you met her.
    What bigger party than to be the two of you together on the sea side. Like going back back in time I suppose.
    Congratulations for this important day.

    Bien à toi

  • hope the flu does not last too long Michel....you know Janine looks very much as she looked in the first photograph.  that can't be said for a lot of people you still have the girl you first fell in love with 46 years later.  That is lovely!  Congratulations to you both. -g

  • Janine 1960 and 2007 both are beautiful. Congratulations! 4 more years to your golden anniversary.
    I hope you feel better soon.

  • Happy anniversary.  She hasn't changed at all....still as beautiful as ever.  Hope you recover quickly. 

  • happy anniversary! you have a beautiful wife! i also hope that you get well soon.

  • Happy Happy Anniversary! What a lucky two you are!

  • Happy Anniversary Michel and Janine!!!  yes she is beautiful..and you are too!!!!

    praying you get better soon...the flu is not a good thing to have

    God bless you both(((HUGS)))

  • Happy anniversary to both of you. You are "mere babes" as I would have been  married for 53 in July. Janine looks really well and happy in the new photo - just as I remember her. I'm sure she thinks that you are as handsome now as you were 45 yrs.ago. Lots of love to both of you. Marie

  • Your wife is so beautiful Michel.  You are a lucky man!  I hope you are feeling better now!

    <3,

    Aubrey

  • Michel, many congratulations on such a big milestone.  46 years is a long time!!  I agree with you, Janine is very much unchanged over those 46 years...a beautiful woman!  I hope you are feeling better soon!  Karen

  • Happy Anniversary to you both.  It's wonderful to know of any couple's who make it past the 5th anniversary, anymore couple's just throw in the marriage and move on, anymore couple's don't want to try and marriage though a wonderful union will face hard times that must be met head on by both.  My Granny use to say you know you have found your true soul mate when your eye's remain unchanged through out the year's of marriage and you continue to see each other the same as the day you met.  Janine is a beautiful woman if we were to ask her I feel certain she would say she see's you as the same as when you first met.  Your marriage is one blessed by God for you are perfect together.  Shirley

  • Both you you are very very young and beautiful. Janine has not changed at all!! amazing. She looks quite happy.
    46 years HAPPY HAPPY ANNIVERSARY to you

    I hope you feel better soon Michel. Make a whole pot of tea and drink it all!
    You must have a lot of fluid to get well.
    Tea is good!

    ~Rosemary

  • Happy 46th Anniversary.  (We celebrate our 36th this year.)  I agree with your friends....you two are blessed and are a blessing for each other.

  • HAPPY HAPPY ANNIVERSARY...You are a good looking couple.  It's obvious you cherish each other and take good care of one another.  You are right...Janine is prettier now.

    Many Many more.

    Love to both of you.  You set a great example

    votre amie,

    Francoise!

  • Oh no.  Don't be sick.  I will pray that you soon feel better!

  • Congratulations on 46 years!

  • C'est vrai Michel, Janine n'a pas changé depuis sa jeunesse. Elle est bienheureuse parce qu'elle est restée jeune non seulement dans le coeur, comme la plupart de nous, mais aussi à l'extérieur.
    Et toi aussi tu es bienheureux de l'avoir comme épouse. Que Dieu vous donne encore beaucoup d'années ensemble, en amour et en santé.
    Pour ce qui concerne la grippe... cherche de ne pas la sous-estimer: nous on est trois semaines qu'on lutte avec, à tour... Lorsque je vais mieux c'est mon mari qui retombe, et lorsqu'il est mieux c'est mon tour de retomber! Il nous a fallu aussi prendre des antibiotiques, maintenant espérons d'en sortir bien. Passe une bonne semaine au chaud avec des bonnes tisanes (tilleul, thym, lavande) et beaucoup de miel et aussi du propolis (bien entendu avec les médicaments que le docteur va te prescrire!).
    Ciao, encore nos meilleurs souhaits et compliments pour l'anniversaire.
    Annalisa

  • Félicitations, Michel! Vous êtes vraiment un beau couple...et évidemment très heureux ensemble.

  • Dinner by the seaside is wonderful.    Congratulations on 46 years.  I hope you feel better soon.  The flu is not fun.  Take care of yourself.

  • Congratulations!  I hope to be as blessed as you to celebrate 46 years with my love.

  • Yes. The achiness is a tell tale sign of the flu.

    I love the photos of Janine. It's sweet of you to see her the same as she was. Does she see you the same?

    Kirsten

  • Congrats!! on 46 years.  Time does go so quickly.  Janine looks very much the same.  I would love to see then and now pictures of you.  I am so very glad that your love has continued to blossom over the years.

    I will pray that you heal quickly from that nasty flu bug.  How is your daughter?  Praying for your families continued healing.

    Lots of love,

    Karen

    I hope you get well soon! Lotz of rest and a cheerful attitude calls for speedy recovery!

  • I hope you feel better soon! You should drink some chicken soup. I always eat soup when I am ill.

    You are right. Your wife has not changed from one picture to the next.

    Happy Anniversary! I hope to someday find a love like yours.

  • Bonne Anniversaire....

  • I love that you say you see her as on that first day. That is the most wonderful thing you can say because it is a simple way of saying your love is forever. Hope you are feeling better very soon. Take care of yourself.   Blessings, kc

  • Janine is the sparkle in your eye!  She was, and is, very beautiful.  I am glad that you have celebrated life with all its ups and downs.  I'm sorry to hear that you are ill.  I'm afraid Susannah has the same thing.  I thought we could avoid it, but it finds us no matter what!

  • I hope you feel better soon, but on a more joyful note....

    Happy 46th Anniversary!  That is certainly something to celebrate.

  • Félicitations! Ta femme est très belle, alors et maintenant.

  • Happy Anniversary!!!  Such a lovely lady who has not changed.  Do take care, Michel, and get well soon.     ~Char

  • woweee!!! congrats to a wonderful anniversary!! be well my friend!

  • C'est vrai...a gauche "une oie blanche" et a droite "vous avez trouver l'oiseau rare".Admirable!

  • A very happy belated 46th wedding anniversary to you and Janine, Michel! You remember I told you that Glenn remarked to me Janine looked like Audrey Hepburn? I have to agree she really did! You two obviously have a wonderful marriage, one that everyone should be very blessed to have, especially after 46 years.

  • I meant to say, I hope you feel better soon, Michel.

  • Happy Anniversary!

    I hope you feel better soon.

  • Happy Anniversary Michel and Janine! I hope you feel better soon, Michel!

  • Lots of soup and tea, my friend, I hope you are well soon...I can see why you fell in love with Janine, she had that certain sparkle in her eyes, full of mischief!  I believe I still saw it in her eyes today?  Only you could tell, I'm sure!  All you need is love...Happy Anniversary, my sweet friend!  Luv you, Lowie

  • "I always see her like she was on the first day." -- That's such a beautiful comment. I wish my future husband would say that about me when we are old.

    I'm glad that you guys had a wonderful time celebrating your 46th wedding anniversary. I hope you get well soon too.

  • I hope you feel better soon. Jeanine looks the same to me as she did in 1960. You are both blessed and I can see that you appreciate each other. Happy Anniversary to you both.

  • Congratulations on your wedding anniversary. You are a very lucky man and your wife looked so beautiful in the black and white photo! Like a model in a magazine.

    Get well soon! It's so easy to catch cold in winter

  • I can see why you treasure the 1960 photo --Its fascinating  and capture ones imagination

    Anyway, congratulations on your 46th and many more yet to come   Ron.   

  • Felicitations!

    What an inspiration... so happy for your 46 years together.

    Patricia

  • i am sorry for your flu!! being sick is rather depressing!

    congratulations on your anniversary!!

  • Congratulations on your 46th wedding anniversary.  It is always a joy to see a successful marriage.  Your wife is truly as lovely today as she was when you first met.  May you have many more happy years together.

    I hope you are well again soon.  The flu is miserable.

    As ever, Carol Suzanne

  • i adore the way you still see your lovely bride..   and i pray you feel much better very, very soon... (i suppose your beautiful bride is nursing you back to health!!)

  • Happy Anniversary -   May you have many more. 

  • I hope you feel better soon, I prescribe plenty of rest and painkillers February is always the month when we feel down as we are all waiting for spring. I do not know about  in your garden but there are lots of daffodils out here now.

    A happy aniversary to both of you I am sure Janine feels the same about you too. Thanks your comments about  my clothes as I know you Frenchmen always have a great eye when it comes to picking clothes

  • Congratulation on the anniversary!  That is wonderful that you two have been married so long. 

    Your friend,

    Billy

  • Janine est aussi belle aujourd'hui!!!!
    "Je la vois toujours comme au premier jour." L'AMOUR!!!!
    Bonne Anniversaire!!!

  • How wonderful Michel, you see her as always. Attractive woman she still is!

    Hope your flu subsides and you bounce right back.

    btw in Oct. Wil and I will celebrate 47 yrs.

  • I'm glad you are feeling better today.  Susannah is recovering.  Michael is here at the house today.  He loves the new kittens.  I am thinking that I will be glad to open up the house for spring and summer.  I am tired of being closed in.  I hope your day goes well. - Rachel

  • Aawww...  C'est si touchant! Joyeux Anniversaire de Marriage a vous deux!

    Et bon voeux de retablissement also.  Hope you feel better soon!

    Take care!

  • A lovely girl became a beautiful woman. May the Lord bless your marriage with new and wonderful things! Your children are blessed to have parents who have weathered the storms of life together for so long.

    Happy anniversary, Michel and Janine!

  • Lovely photos and Happy Anniversary to both of you.  Youth remains in both of your faces.

    I believe when you truly love someone, age sort of remains in the background.  The person who it is that you love shines thru to the exterior hiding changes that occur while we age.  It isn't that we don't see the aging, only that the person we fell in love with resides in our memories and shines thru to the view.  I can still spot John in any crowd, something about how he carries himself and it makes me smile every time.  We celebrated our 39th in December and if my wish is granted we will celebrate many more.  100 would not be long enough.

  • An exquisite beauthy at any age Michel,   congratulations on your anniversary  --  hope  you have many, m any more of them.

  • You do indeed have a beautiful bride, then and now! A very happy (belated) 46th anniversary to you, Michel!

  • Happy Aniversay to U. She is a very lovely and good looking lady in her youth and she is still looking good. Good choice Mike

  • Oh Michel and Janine...Happy Anniversary!  46 years!  You both are wonderful examples to us all!  I love the pictures and you are right...Janine has not changed - she is still so very beautiful!  I love the look in her eyes in both pictures!!!  :O)  We can see what you see Michel - you make that so very clear in your love for her!  I just love that about you!  I think the simple dinner by the seaside sounds wonderful! 

    I am so sorry to hear that you have the flu!  Please rest and get better soon.  I will pray that Janine does not catch this as well.  I know she will take very good care of you!  I have had the flu as well and at the tail end of it - thankfully! 

    My love to you both!

    xoxo Cat

  • how lovely! happy anniversary!

  • Jolie Janine à tout âge :)
    Félicitations pour ces 46 belles années !
    Et puis tout de bon pour ta santé cher Michel ! Que cette grippe soit bien vite oubliée et que le printemps vous sourie !
    Amitiés encore de Nidau, retour à HK dimanche, AM & JU

    merci de votre sympathie
    demain nous irons manger en Alsace à Village-Neuf près de Bâle avec Margit (margitsfocus sur fotolog) et son mari + mon papa qui se réjouit fort tout comme nous d'une petite sortie en Pays voisin :)

  • That's beautiful. I'm glad that men like you still exists and not only in my mind. Wish I could have one that "put up" with me for so long. Congratulations on your wedding anniversary! I have great respect for what you have achieved.

    Take care!

  • I am so sorry to hear you have the flu. Oh, my. I hope by the time you read this you are feeling better!

    Janine is beautiful...especially her legs. I would like to see a picture of you at that time, please! And, yes, Janine is still the same.

  • You have such a lovely lady there, Michel. Janine does seem to stay young looking even with her lovely silver hair. Congratulations on your 46 years.

  • RYC:  Yes, Danielle is my biological daughter and Kalli is my adopted daughter. 

  • Congrats!  Hope you feel better.

  • Your life inspires, Michel. And you are lucky. She is a very beautiful woman! And you, a gorgeous man, what makes her a lucky woman as well. God bless you both.

  • awww!!!  Bonne anniversaire!!!  You two make a wonderful couple.  Here's to much happiness for you both!

    Your friend always,

    Rich

  • Aww, Michel.  So sorry you are down with the flu.  Hope it is only the 24 hr. variety, and not the bad kind! 

    Janine looks just as beautiful as she did 47 yrs. ago.  And, know you are just as handsome.  Janine looks very much as she did all those years ago.  Wish I could say the same.  I have a lot more weight on me than I did then.  Janine has kept her "girlish" figure!  Ken always says the same thing to me that you say about Janine---he always sees me as I was way back then.  Now, THAT is true love!

    By the time you read this on Thursday morning, it will be our 46th anniversary.  Will put a new blog up for our anniversary---maybe later tonight.

  • What a wonderful love story--you and your Janine.  A very Happy Anniversary to you both.

  • You are one lucky guy to have such a wonderful and beautiful woman at your side.

    Blessings.

    Becker

  • This is so beautiful!

  • I read your encouraging and thoughtful words on Airkiss19's entry and I had to drop by to say Happy Anniversary to you and your beloved wife. I wish you all the best and please do get well soon.

  • Happy Love to you both.  you have been through a lot of life and have the glow of youngsters.  It is a blessing to have a good marriage.  I hope your DIL is handling the Kemo okay and that it will be an answer.  Love, Life and Family...that is what it is all about Your friends, Nancy & Bruce

  • A lifetime of LOVE with a beautiful Lady!
    What a blessed life you've had, Michel ...

    Prayers for a quick and complete recovery from the Flu.
    So sorry you have to fight this battle.

  • Happy Anniversary, Michel and Janine. I agree with others who have said here that she looks the same. You are a beautiful couple and I am so glad to have made your acquaintance.

    And prayers for your quick recovery from the flu....Dorrice

  • Hello Michel

    My wedding is on March 31.  It's not very far away now!  I was looking for a nice dress in an autumn colour (I found a nice bronze one but it wasn't in my size on the rack) since the leaves will have turned in the garden that we're getting married in and I thought it would be nice to sort of match the surroundings, but I've ended up with a fairly simple cream coloured dress that is made a bit fancier by having a bit of beading on it.  It's not a proper wedding dress, it's just a nice dress. 

  • Hi dear Michel...RYC:  I really am fine, sometimes I like to express myself in a poemlike way...I have gone through some big changes in the last year, all for the better, now that I look back...some are things I don't openly talk about on Xanga, but have had to deal with personally...at times, it's been a struggle...that quote really said the author was anonymous, it wasn't me!    All in all, my life is good, I cannot complain...I love you for caring, just seeing your words sometimes makes me feel better!  Thank you!  Lowie

  • She is beautiful both then and now.  Congratulations on you anniversary!

  • RYC:  Most of the time we like several children in the home. 

  • Toutes mes felicitations à vous deux, Michel!  Vous avez un amour dont les poètes écrivent... un jour j'espère à sentir comme ça avec quelqu'un(e)...

  • Happy Anniversary Michel. God bless you with many more in the years to come.. :)

    Ren

  • You are quite welcome, my dear! How are you feeling?

  • Jeanine's beauty shows that she loves and is loved. She would always be beautiful, even without that, but in a different way if she was not so beautifully loved. Congratulations to both of you on your anniversary, and to you especially, Michel, for keeping this beautiful woman as happy and confident as she looks in her picture.
    Glad you got to celebrate before the flu grabbed you! I think my head is feeling better today, and I hope yours is too. Yes, this illness does get you down! Did you get a flu shot this year? I did, but here it came anyway. Bummer!
    Best wishes on your anniversary!
    Joy

  • Just checking in with you to see how you are feeling...

    xoxox Cat

  •   A Very Happy Anniversary to both of you! You've been married nearly as long as I've been alive, what a cosmic thought, to think how the world has changed in that time & your relationship has lasted through it all. I hope you both have many wonderful years ahead, full of love and laughter.

       A get well soon from the flu. Flus are miserable to endure. Feel better!

  • just to reply-

    our "godbaby" is really just our godchild. her mother was my best friend growing up- we were so close we were like sisters. so when she was having a baby, she asked me to be the godmother.

  • Fancy 46 years married Janine looks a very lovely lady. Sorry to hear you are not feeling well. Take care keep warm and drink plenty of fluids. Angela

  • What a beautiful day! Happy Anniversary! I read the French perfectly and didn't even look at the English translation. I hope your flu gets better. It's no fun being sick, but it's better if your beloved can help take care of you. Speaking of tea, as Rosemary did, I think I'm going to have to go make a pot. Peace!

  • warm congratulations to both of you. sorry to hear you are feeling ill. better soon, I trust!

  • Michael:  So glad to have found your comment--which I did by accident.  I am the original computer idiot.  I just took a package to the post office for Marina--only to find they were closed.  I'll get it there on Monday for sure, but have no idea how long it will take to get to her--but it is coming.  I hope that it gives her a laugh and that she is feeling better.  Tell her for me that she is in my prayers.  Bunny

  • Becky just found me and told me you do your blog in English, too--I'm soooooo glad because I gave up after the first two words in the first.  Your last comment made me start to cry--that you still see your wife as you did that first day.  I told Becky that I sometimes think my Dan sees me that way, too--to which she said "you wish!".  We've been laughing on the phone over that and the story I told her about kissing Dan good by the other day--and he told me "goodby, wrinkles".  I stood up, grabbed my face, said something to the fact that my face didn't have any wrinkles.  It was then he told me he was looking at my neck!!!  And yes, I let him live.  Bunny

  • Happy Anniversary Michel and Janine! I am glad you were able to enjoy your lunch together. You are right Janine is a very lovely lady, just as she was years ago.

    I hope and pray you feel better quickly.

    Melody

    P.S. Your comments always make me smile Michel. I feel privelidged to count you as my xanga friend. :) Hello to Janine :)

  • Félicitations, Michel! Ta femme est encore très belle

    J'avais deux projets (j'ai oublié quel projet j'ai laissé la commentaire à propos), un pour ma classe des affaires mondiales (je concentre sur la Colombie) et j'avais un projet pour mon travail. C'était plus que 2000 photocopies! J'ai fini les photocopies, mais je dois continuer mon projet sur la Colombie. Zut alors.. Mais j'ai un jour de repos lundi, alors je pense que je vais le faire lundi (je pense hehe)

    L'amitié Michel! <3

    ~Anne

  • Oh! Et j'espère tu sentiras mieux!! J'avais la grippe pour deux semaines... et j'étais mal à la gorge. Eep!

  • Your wife is as beautiful as the day that you married her. You are very lucky as is she to have you to love her. Hope your flu is better. Drink lots of green tea and eat chicken soup with garlic.

    I think I have just had a bit of writers block lately. The winter is not my favorite season but spring is on it's way thank goodness. Mother is slowly getting weaker. He cancer is surrounded and not growing which is good but it is not going away. The drugs and chemo are making her weak and taking her immune system to zero which is just awful to witness. It is very hard to think of a parent leaving you no matter what age you are.

    Take Care of Yourself

    Love, Brenda

  • My prayers are with you Michel to get well soon. I am mending. Prayers are on there way to you. Judi

  • Belated anniversary wishes to you both

  • That's simply lovely. :) Happy belated anniversary to you.

  • Michel, are you feeling better now. Judi

  • Congratulations to you both! Your wife is very beautiful!What a joy and a blessing to have 46 years of wonderful marraige!

    Thank you for your lovely comment.

  • I am so excited for your anniversary! Thats so wonderful for both you and your wife. Congrats! :) -Kendra

  • Congratulations on your anniversary! To see that you're still happy after all these years is an inspiration.
    I hope you get to feeling better soon! Take good care of yourself.

    Blessings!!

  • RYC: No, I don't suppose my painting is true abstract style, but I wanted it to fit in and suit my other bedspread. I had to take out certain features in that bedspread to include in the painting for it to look connected. As far the animal drawings go, the next painting I'm doing is a sort of abstract of two Collie dogs. I do like to do drawings other than animals all the time though! I feel like doing some now with lots of colour and shapes combined.

  • Amazing. The only difference between the 2 pics is the color in her hair :)

  • Belated Happy Anniversary!! I hope the flu leaves quickly.
    , Laurie

  • I'm so sorry you feel ill. I had something resembling the flu last week.

    Your wife is beautiful. Both then and now. Therre aren't many people in this world that are married as long as you both. Truly a match made in heaven.

  • Felicitations!!!  Je vois Jeff la meme.  C'est marveilleuse, non?  Le miracle d'amour!!

  • Hi, Michael.  Just a quick note to let you know that a package was mailed today to your daughter-in-law.  I have no idea how long it will take (let me know), but keep your eyes peeled for it.  There is a part you need to play in this gift:  Marina will need a small pair of scisors, a glue stick, and pictures of the things in her life that bring her joy--family, friends, pets, etc.  I thought this would be something you would easily be able to collect for her.  I hope that this will give her a bit of joy.  Love.  Bunny

  • Happy Anniversary to both of you!  46 years of marriage is definitely something spectacular to celebrate. 

    I hope you feel better soon – get lots of rest, drink lots of liquid and warm soup.  All the best!

  • La vie est belle! Bonne Anniversaire!

  • 'The tale told by the tail.' Could be a nice title for a tale told by a dog(or by his tail)
    Thanks for the tip, it is funny.

  • Hi Michel,
    Ryc: I understand now why they are called tailors, from tail.
    Perhaps they had to make suites to hide the tails.
    The tails of a tailor.
    Rachid was in Bruxelles all right. The guys (and the ladies) go to Strasbourg only once a month for 4 days. They go there to eat the 'choucroute' and to drink pinot noir d'alsace.
    The rst of the time they are in Bruxelles to eat "french frieds" Or patat as the flemish say it or just frites.
    I wonder why they call them french frieds. =-)

    Amitié

  • Your wife is beautiful--remarkable, she has not changed! She has an ageless beauty that must be within, too, for you to be together so long.

    Happiness, always.

  • C'est émouvant de lire que vous vous avez mariés pendant 46 ans que tu voie Janine toujours comme au premier jour! Bonne anniversaire de mariage!

  • I love, love, love this site.  I found you thru another site, also new to me.  Following comments finds one in strange new places.  I also have cats, two with French names Gigi and Sassy Suzette.  I am drawn to things that are French.  In redoing my house I was picking out new tile floors and said I wanted to pretend I lived in a farmhouse somewhere on the Medditerranean, maybe France.  I now have stone floors.  I have a very small vegetable garden that my gardeners made for me on the side of the house.  I did have a plot in a community garden that your garden reminded me of.  Thank you so much for the wonderful pictures. I have subscribed to your site and am looking foward to more of your postings.
