32 years married.

in spring the hubs and i both turned 62..

& july 9 we celebrated 32 years married..

& come september we will have known one

another 50 years - meeting in 7th grade

english class. we simply knew each other

through school - then the 10 year class reunion

happened and we reconnected on a whole

'nuther level. nearly 2 years later we married.

the morning of our anniversary ::

i made coffee & put in a to-go thermos.

picking up pastries at our teensie weensie

town bakery we made our way 15 minutes

to a favorite lake, set up our camp chairs,

and enjoyed the view. we were the only ones

there save for ducks and their morning conversation.

the water was like glass and the view breathtaking. 

after spending a couple hours in this location 

and the arrival then conversation with kayakers, 

we chose to head 15 minutes home to put together

a few provisions for a hike in a destination

about 7 minutes from home in another direction 

we hadn't yet explored since relocating. 

hiking what we thought to be another

lake we soon realized it was more a shrouded

swamp - but the surrounding view lovely - like a

magical forest. and in the afternoon nachos!

at a local watering/fooding spot.

home ... nap ... perfect day.
