Couple Celebrates 80 Years of Marriage

Here's one of the sweetest stories I've heard in a long time. Check it out, y'all.

In Lubec, Maine, a couple is about to celebrate their 80th wedding anniversary. Yep, 80th. Talk about sticking it out!

Kathleen and Waldo Tarbell married in 1927, during Calvin Coolidge's presidency. They now live together at the Oceanview Nursing Home, where they will celebrate their anniversary in grand style.

Like most couples, the Tarbells say that marriage has changed them. Kathleen, who is a hard-and-fast Democrat, has stuck to her political guns throughout her adult life. But Waldo, originally a Republican, has turned Democrat.

He said that his wife "converted" him.

This is GREAT NEWS for us wives. It means we CAN change our husbands, after all.

It only takes 80 years.

With Southern love,
Annabelle
