Happy Anniversary of our first date!

This photo booth picture from the first couple of
weeks Steven van Schaik and I were together says it all.
It was love at first date.
This photo clearly spent some time in
one of our wallets before making it into an
official album.

Today was a perfect celebration of the anniversary of our first date.  I gave
Steven a large beautiful card made by our printer, and he brought me card

after card (with coffees) that he'd made to wish me a happy anniversary. 
We went down to Lake Ontario to pick up lunch at Alpacones and afterwards
fed the geese, sparrows, and seagulls our left over bread.  

The lake was spectacular, so we drove to the park we used to love, which
is supposedly being shoreline protected -- barring the neighbourhood from
enjoying this huge wild space -- and found an opening in the extensive fencing

that everyone was walking through, and another opening that let us go down
and sit on a log on the beach and watch and listen to the waves. 

Beautiful.  Thank you Steven for your love, and thank you to all our friends
and family for making our lives wonderful.

Have a loving your life day!
