Regarding the Original Post:
By my reckoning, it is now Wednesday in the UK and you stated in the OP Wednesday is you and yours' 34th wedding anniversary; that being said, I want to wish you and the missus a very Happy Anniversary (Note to the Missus: 34 years with Jim? You, ma'am, are a saint
)...
I have read, over the years, the various posts where Jim has described the goings on of your family and the continuing adventures and accomplishments of your children. The evidence points to a married life well-lived and and parenting well-accomplished and successful. To the both of you, congratulations on your anniversary and a hope for many more years to come for you together with continued happiness and love...
