Thirty one years today
On a very hot July 18th, much like today, we were married in Vancouver in 1987.
It was a garden wedding.
Such big eyeglasses in those days.
This morning when I went to make the bed after Colin had gone out I found a card with a surprise. Later I found another homemade card and a surprise. Yet another surprise found in the coffee drawer. Now I know why he kept telling me to go make my myself a coffee before he left 😀 I thought that we were not doing gifts as we had just had a very special trip to Europe.
Lucky me. Apparently we have been married 11,315 days.
By now Colin was home and suggested that I put a bottle of wine in the fridge for later.
Look what I found.
My husband of 31 years is awesome and so very very special. Thank you for all my surprises and the fabulously homemade cards. I wondered why the printer kept going last night.
So as I am writing this post I turned to check something on my desk and found this….
Yet another surpirse 🙂 I never even heard him beside me at my desk. Love the look of this bottle, a 2016 Freudian Sip from Therapy Vineyards. My type of therapy indeed. For those that would like to know this is a blend of Pinot Gris, Riesling, Gewurztraminer, Sauvignon Blanc and Viognier. At 14.2% alcohol/volume this should be interesting.
Thanks to Colin this has been a fun day. We are going into Kelowna for a dinner with a view of the lake but as the smoke is getting thicker who knows what type of view we will have. Regardless we will be having fun.
I might as well get the party started. Cute label. Nice wine, smooth, sumptuous with a refreshing finish. More please.
Happy Anniversary, te amo mi amor!

Hello you two love birds,
It is so wonderful to see and feel how much you are in to other in other words how much love we sense between you.
31 happy years. Celebrate .
We wish you everything good the world has to offer and good health to enjoy every day.
The news of new fires in the Okanagan is horrible. The wind is also pretty strong again. How can the fire fighters get a handle on the many outbreaks. Stay safe !!!
Hugs , Peter and Hannelore.
Congratulations in 31 happy years and wishing you many more !
Congratulations!!! Have a wonderful day! Hope they get the fires under control!
Sorry to be so late, but Happy Anniversary to you two! 🙂
Contessa, you are right about the big eye glasses in those
days, but you and Colin are so adorable in that picture!!
Hi, Contessa,
i have been in another dead zone in Buena Vista, CO. AT&T is really so much worse than Verizon was when I was in Colorado back in 2015.
I am sorry I am late saying “Happy Anniversary!” Looks like you and Colin had a wonderful celebration! You are both so fortunate to have the mutual love and respect of each other, not something found in so many relationships.
Hope the smoke is not too bad, and you are getting rest in between work.
xoxox,
Suzanne
