Heading for the Hills

This Sunday we will celebrate our 40th Wedding Anniversary, and what better way to do that than 3 days at a lovely Bed and Breakfast cottage in the Blue Mountains.
Someone else to cook breakfast, lots of time to explore gardens and the mountain scenery, and discover some delicious little eateries! I'm sure it will make the last 40 years all worth it...LOL.
Indeed they have been worth everything - especially our four wonderful children and now 3 delightful grandchildren. The six different homes in which we've lived in 2 States, the friends we've made along the way, and the interests and experiences shared, including several overseas trips. The last few years in retirement have created an even greater sense of sharing and fulfilment.
We give thanks for all our many blessings.

    Congratulations on your 40th Alice. Have a great weekend away, look forward to seeing the photo's. I'm sure you will capture some beautiful scenery in the Blue Mountains.
    Did you notice that Susan in Stitches managed to see David Hobson at our Cathedral last Saturday. Lucky thing. We spent the weekend in Shepparton with the Darling known as Jorja.
    Cheers for now and once again enjoy your break.
