Our 2nd Anniversary

"Love is composed of a single soul inhabiting two bodies."
Aristotle
"Your words are my food, your breath my wine. You are everything to me."
Sarah Bernhardt
"I love thee to the depth and breadth and height my soul can reach..."
Elizabeth Barrett Browning
 "I love you, not only for what you are, But for what I am when I am with you."
Roy Croft
 "You're nothing short of my everything."
Ralph Block
"Two souls with but a single thought, two hearts that beat as one."
John Keats
"I miss you even more than I could have believed; and I was prepared to miss you a good deal."
Vita Sackville-West
"If I could reach up and hold a star for every time you made me smile, I would have the whole night sky in the palm of my hand."
Unknown
"The most wonderful of all things in life is the discovery of another human being with whom one's relationship has a growing depth, beauty and joy as the years increase. This inner progressiveness of love between two human beings is a most marvelous thing; it cannot be found by looking for it or by passionately wishing for it. It is a sort of divine accident, and the most wonderful of all things in life."
Sir Hugh Walpole
"Being deeply loved by someone gives you strength, while loving someone deeply gives you courage."
Lao Tzu

1967 the continued presence of American troops increased further and a total of 475,000 were serving in Vietnam and the peace rallies were multiplying as the number of protesters against the war increased. The Boxer Muhammad Ali was stripped of his boxing world championship for refusing to be inducted into the US Army. In the middle east Israel also went to war with Syria, Egypt and Jordan in the six day war and when it was over Israel controlled and occupied a lot more territory than before the war. Once again in the summer cities throughout America exploded in rioting and looting the worst being in Detroit on July 23rd where 7000 national Guard were bought in to restore law and order on the streets. In England a new type of model became a fashion sensation by the name of Twiggy and mini skirts continued to get shorter and even more popular with a short lived fashion being paper clothing. Also during this year new Discotheques and singles bars appeared across cities around the world and the Beatles continued to reign supreme with the release of "Sgt. Peppers Lonely Heart Club Band" album, and this year was also coined the summer of love when young teenagers got friendly and smoked pot and grooved to the music of "The Grateful Dead. Jefferson Airplane and The Byrds". The movie industry moved with the times and produced movies that would appeal to this younger audience including "The Graduate" Bonnie and Clyde" and "Cool Hand Luke" . TV shows included "The Fugitive" and "The Monkeys" and color television sets become popular as the price comes down and more programmes are made in color.   
March 31 – U.S. President Lyndon Johnson signs the Consular Treaty.
Mondays child poem

Mondays child is fair of face,
Tuesdays child is full of grace,
Wednesdays child is full of woe,
Thursdays child has far to go,
Fridays child is loving and giving,
Saturdays child works hard for his living,
And the child that is born on the Sabbath day
Is bonny and blithe, and good and gay.

1967
