Forty!

June 15, 1973









Forty years .....
what a journey!
We have been blessed
in so many ways.








Fast forward to June 15, 2013....
We celebrated in Tofino, BC
with a stroll on the beach,
a fun day downtown,
watching the fishermen bring in loads
of fresh salmon,
a 4 hour kayaking trip,
and a delicious late night dinner at Schooners.



Seafood Chowder lunch with Corn Bread
at Sobo's



A stroll on the beach
The kayaks



In 1973 we paddled our canoe in Algonquin Park.
40 years later we paddled a kayak in Tofino's Inlet!
No too bad for two old folks.



Till next time - we're off to Vancouver.

  4. Congratulations on forty years of marriage! We celebrated forty years last December- and my husband had a big mustache just like your husband did. Must have been the styling way. Your celebration looked just perfect. Fun.

  5. Oh my goodness! I have been offline for more than two weeks, back and forth to Edmonton due to the birth of twins. I completely missed learning that you would be on the Island. Congratulations on your fortieth! You have celebrated in wonderful style! I'd love to have met you - I'm back on Edmonton this weekend. Enjoy the rest of your anniversary trip!
