Our anniversary today...53 years!



We've had a lot of adventures in these last 53 years but we will never forget the very special times we had in our wonderful little village of Carqueiranne. View from our apartment on the port. 

We wouldn't be worrying about where to have a great meal. Not completely sure what we'll do today. Options are limited.

And this is what we were doing two years ago:

A gorgeous day in Palm Springs
And on this day 51 years ago in Vancouver it was a wonderfully warm sunny day...a perfect day for a wedding...ours! Then to my parent's waterfront place on Gabriola Island for a cheap honeymoon since we were still students at UBC. A friend remarked when we got home that the problem with that type of honeymoon was all the cooking and cleaning. Jim looked surprised and said, "What cooking and cleaning...that wasn't a problem." Ah yes...times haven't changed very much 🙂
We did a day trip to Victoria one day...little did we know we would end up living there for over forty years. Little did we know we would end up living at UBC. And little did we know we would be in Palm Springs 51 years later saying goodbye to our wonderful desert paradise.
Ah life...it's been pretty amazing.
We're off to celebrate with dinner at Lord Fletcher's today. This was Frank Sinatra's favourite haunt and we got rather interested in it after seeing the film, "Frank Sinatra in Palm Springs".
