40 years later

On August 19 we celebrated our 40th anniversary. It is a cliche to say that it doesn't seem that long ago we were sitting by a tree getting our engagement pictures taken by Calvin's dad.

We still like sitting by trees getting our picture taken.

 I could never have imagined 40 years ago what a wonderful adventure our life would be... and it just keeps getting better.

We celebrated by going to San Francisco to see the play "Beautiful."  We arrived in time to do a little sight-seeing so we wandered into the city hall.  The San Francisco city hall is a really beautiful building and quite a few couples were getting married there and taking pictures as we were walking around. 

We saw "Beautiful" in the Orpheum theater, which is not in the best part of town, but it was a great people watching location.

The play was excellent.  We have given up our local Broadway season tickets because we missed most of the shows anyway, so this was a really fun evening.

The next day we drove to the Russian River for an afternoon of paddling.  There were possibly more pictures but I had a download malfunction so this was our fun afternoon paddling with about 500 of our closest friends.

We are so blessed in the life we live.  I hope the adventure continues for a good long time.
