Thursday, or Thereabouts - September 6, 2018

On this day...
      ...A long time ago in a galaxy far, far away


White lace and promises







a kiss for luck...


...and we're on our way.


We'd only just begun.

Three years later, we cleared the land on a property on Cherry Street.



And built a house.

September 1978

1978 - With Gramps the Engineer




May 1980 - Norbert and my Dad


May 1980 - Mom & I

Then we got a dog of course: Sheba our first German Shepherd.



Children took a little longer, but arrive they did.

January 1985

March 1985

March 1987

Christmas 1987

We grew, we traveled.
.

Austria 1996

Spain 2005

We walked two dogs across the rainbow bridge when their time came, Sheba and Sasha.
#3 - Sophie is keeping us in line these days.

Cuba 2012

The house got a make-over and then a sunroom.


Wedding bells rang out again, and we grew some more.

June 2011

July 2015

So here we are in 2018, 43 years later and still traveling together.

Iceland - June 2018













"Sharing horizons that are new to us
Watching the signs along the way
Talkin' it over, just the two of us
Workin' together day to day
Together, Together."
