34 Years Ago Today!

We are away, celebrating 34 years of a happy marriage today!

Look at those young faces! I remember looking at my wedding album and thinking we would never change.

Yes, change has come, but it has been the change that comes from happiness, and love, and many years of living through both the good times and the hard times in our life together. There was never a happier day in our lives as the day we were married, until the ones when our children were born, and now we await a wonderful new happiness of the birth of our first grandchild!

Now, as we are look forward to celebrating the second half of our lives together, we give thanks for all our blessings.

A Short Trip

"Listen! The wind is rising, and the air is wild with leaves,
We have had our summer evenings, now for October eves!"

We are going away for a few days! My suitcases have been getting a workout lately.

Don't you love the artsy suitcases above? They were for sale in a gift store in the Hotel Del Coronado in San Diego, CA.

I remember when suitcases actually looked like this, and a person could pack an entire wardrobe within one, as they were surprisingly deep, yet compact. Going on a long trip, far away, you would acquire lots of decals from different destinations to place on them. Sort of visual passport record of where you had travelled! It was so romantic in a way, but I love the rolling wheels and long handles that current suitcases have, so I wouldn't trade them in for these!

My husband and I are celebrating a special day that is coming up ..... can you guess what it is? Watch for my pre scheduled post to see if you guessed right!

We are grateful there are no hurricanes in the forecast, and that this time away will be very quiet and restful before all the holiday rush begins.

See you soon!
