December 6th, thirty years of marriage. Where did time go? How did it happen? How do you measure thirty years?
More than half my life, three talented children, two Scotty dogs, four moves in two countries, all our parents gone, a grandbaby, retirement (ours!) plans, joys and sadness, ups and downs, give and take...
Did I ever tell the story of how we met? I think I did. I took a stained glass course and he was the teacher. After a few dates he said, "If you're going to get serious with me, you have to move to a place called Lions Bay, BC."
"Oh, OK" this New York-raised-near-the-city girl said.
And the rest is history.
Santorini - November 2012:
Many congratulations.
It was our 30th in July. Where did the time go?

Happy Anniversary! It's a real milestone. Our 30th will be December 18, and I ask myself the same questions you pose.

That's wonderful!!!!! You are a perfect match - 2 free spirits melded together but still 2 human beings each doing what you like to do on your own. I'm so glad we met you guys and I can assure you you will celebrate your 50th - we know what it takes and you've got it!! See you in the Spring and I'm looking for a primbe rib you can roast for us!! Love, Margaret and Wayne

I was looking for a pattern for a herringbone scarf and I found yours in Ravelry and I really like it. Is it still available for free? I'd love a copy if it's still available.
Thank you,
Suzanne

I think you might kill me if I met a guy and agreed to move to a different country after three dates ;)
