                49ers!

    Wait! Before you read anymore
this blog is not about football (though
I hope you get a kick out of it!)
      I'm looking back on a lot of really

great memories on this April 29th.

49years ago today my wife and I

were married!

   Since I only met her a little over

a year before we wed my memories

now include some 50 years.

    We, like all other couples, have

gone through some tough times.

Especially those years when, one

by one, we lost our parents.

     But life has been really good for

us! Three great kids and six wonderful

grandchildren. And we're especially

blessed because they all live close by.

Our time spent with all of them is,

perhaps, our greatest treasure,

     We've also been blessed with the

roles we picked up as Travel Hosts.

      After our wedding reception we

walked into the parking lot and I asked

my bride which way she'd like to go.

She pointed North so our Honeymoon

was planned day by day and we went

from place to place. The most  impressive

at the time was probably New York City,

       Over the last few years we've been

to British Columbia, San Francisco,

Halifax, Ireland, Hawaii, Scotland, Italy,

Switzerland, Austria, Italy, and several
of our National Parks including Mount
Rushmore, 

       Not bad for those old newlyweds

who just started out for places unknown.

        If I knew how great it was going to
be I would have married her 10 years
earlier! Of course that could have been
a problem because she would only have
been 9!

       Our future is, of course, filled with

unknowns, As long as we're facing them

together I'll be OK.

        My wife has made these last 49

years the best of my life. Thank you

sweetheart and Happy Anniversary!

        May all your, and our, NEWS be

good!
