Can it really be that long ago?

Ok, here's a real shocker. The old duffer and I have been married nearly 38 years. As we were moving I discovered an unopened wedding gift--brand new, still in the box. It has been sitting in the cupboard over the fridge for nearly 40 years. It was a 4 qt. corningware casserole dish. I have another one just like it and I suppose I was saving this one for when the other one wore out. Amazingly, I had never felt the need to replace the one I'm currently using. So I took it out of the box, washed it and it is now sitting in my new cupboards along with the "old" bakeware. Looks downright "spiffy". Sadly, it held up better than either I or the old duffer did!
