Birders taking a lunch time break and checking out the Lake Erie Beach.

September 18, 1966, the day I met this lovely young lady! That started our relationship, and we “never looked back!” We have been married 53 years, and are looking to many more great years together. Alice had seen me on a bus on September 17. She had observed that a young lady got on the bus, and she saw me give up my seat for her. She never thought more of it, until she met me the next day! National Wife Appreciation Day, also falls on September 18, this year! I appreciate all the miles my wife has traveled with me, supporting me in so many ways! This photo was taken on the East Coast of the U.S. From the hat, you can tell that we also climbed the trek up to Poon Hill in Nepal, which was a part of our 40th wedding anniversary!
We met at college
Courted for one-thousand days
Then wedded for life

Someone was enjoying flying their kite at the William Randolph Hearst Jr. Memorial Beach. This was one of the places we stopped on our drive along the coast (Big Sur)

Packing up after time at the beach!


I took this photo of these siblings, and the older boy came running to look at my screen to see what the photo looked like, that I took of him! Fun times!

This week my taxi work took me to the East Coast of the USA. My wife was able to travel along this time!!!

I am disappointed, because we were due to be touring Israel this week, and next. We did get our tour money back, but will have to wait for the money from El Al, until they are up and running. I am thinking there is likely something better ahead for us. Now glad, we decided the make the trip to Nicaragua in February. At least with 20-20 vision, we can look back and better analyze what is happening, etc., and it’s ramifications! Let’s not despair, but look ahead with hope.

Maybe it is not a sand dollar, if it is still alive?!?
