No just any kind of food
on our anniversary:)
forty one years baby
The Peruvian waiter took this pic,
he couldn't help the reflection of the light
made the wall this kind of orange yellow :)
Snow coming down in the Netherlands
Married 5 years (in the seventies)
Me thinks back then we had too much
responsibility on our young shoulders.
this was the nineties folks! (textured with "grain" PS)
For a long time this was my corner studio
In our 40 feet living-dining room
it was hardly noticeable
yet my best paintings come
from that plank above my desk!
Now I have a custom made easel
that can hold 6-8 foot paintings
Of all the scary times,
It's one thing to have a wedding
day with all the bells and whistles
altogether different is
to have a marriage
lasting a life time.

After they told us at the Italian restaurant
the waiting was one hour!
Excuse me??
We will drive 40 min.closer to our house then ...
This Peruvian one is much larger than it looks like from the outside, much busier than we expected, many young people, and a friendly service.

besides, we like Peruvian music
and a homey atmosphere

Of all the scary times,
it were not the tornados, or the earthquakes,
but this scary sky
colored by smoke
ashes were everywhere
on the driveway, the car
As soon as I came outside I started coughing
it was a health hazard for a week
people started wearing masks
because fires were burning an hour away
it was in Oct - Nov when 15 fires
were burning (I think it was in 2008) in California

Oh wow...forty one years...that is just sensational! Happy Happy Anniversary! I enjoyed your pictures and tidbits of history very much also! You guys look great together and look like you belong with each other.
I thought my hubby and I were doing good with 31 years under our belt. But you two have got us beat. Wow, you guys must have been super young when you married. You both still look terrific.
Thanks for dropping my blog and leaving a comment. But, the answer to your question is no I did not Photoshop anything. I didn't even own Photoshop then. I do now but never use it. I've only owned Photoshop for a couple of years. I don't understand it very much. I took a course in it. But, then didn't keep up with things. My desk top died and I reloaded Photoshop onto my laptop but don't even remember how to set my preferences. I really need to find some tutorials and get that taken care of.
The only thing I did to those pictures that were taken with a Kodak Instamatic was re-size them in Jasc Paint Shop Pro 7 and sharpen a tad. I was surprised when I found them too! And, I am surprised the pictures turned out so well. I know my hubby loves the camera. It's his now and he gets some fabulous shots out on the road.
I have to say, that Kodak as far as this little camera, we own, beats every other camera I've seen as far as staying true to color, and taking great pictures. I wish they would move into the field of higher end cameras. I would snap one up in a heart beat! I currently shot with a Cannon Rebel. I only have three lenses, 18-55. 55-250 and a 400 zoom. I do not like the Rebel and was very much the gullible amateur when I purchased it.
Well enough of that. I hope you guys have had a terrific week and Happy happy anniversary once again!
Happy Anniversary! You are a lovely couple! Wonderful photos, thanks for sharing!
Congratulations♫♪ Your lovely blog in infused with your enthusiasm...Here's to many more♥ My L effort: http://lmkazmierczak.blogspot.com/2013/02/lenten-hymn.html
Interesting post.

great photo of the young couple {:-D And so nice of the waiter to take your photo. {:-Deb
Congrats on your anniversary, and love that photo of the two of you from the '70s.
Congrats on your anniversary. Love the two photos of you both.
Happy Anniversary!
Congratulations and Happy Anniversary! You two look so cute!
P.S. The panoramic photo was taken by a point and shoot camera.
Happy Anniversary. God Bless your family!
Parabéns pelo aniversário. Lindos momentos aqui mostrados! beijos brasileiros,chica
I love picture of rapunzel
Feliz aniversário! Todas as bençãos de Deus!
Enjoyed your photos from the past, Emille. Such a great young couple--hope life got easier as you went along. I have friends who live in CA and she shares photos of the fires you have too often. Terrifying.
congratulations to you!
I remember those fires! Not because I was there, but because my father was there, in our mountain home where those fires were burning. I was glued to the internet, searching for news...watching mountain websites where local mountainers were sending in reports and listening in to police scanners. I plotted all the blazes near our home on a google map. Luckily, our home made it through safe. My dad had been evacuated. He hadn't been able to take our dog, who ran off when he was packing up...but a neighbour who stayed to try to protect his house found him and fed him for us until my dad got back.
Congratulations!
Happy anniversary!
Happy Anniversary ~ great photos and memory lane ~ a treasure !

nice looking back sometimes. :)
Happy Anniversary! May you enjoy many more years together. Hey I was just thinking that if your anniversary was on Feb 6th then I remember the day you were married because that was my 6th birthday and I got a purple bike and pizza for dinner. :-)
Linda a sequência, principalmente a foto do casal nos anos 70. Um abraço!
Happy anniversary... I like the two picture of your couple, back then and nowadays : it alway interesting to see the evolution in between two moments of life...
Happy Anniversary to you both.
I hope that you had a great night and that your dinner was good.
You are a beautiful lady, very glamorous
and you both make a lovely couple.
Thank you for linking up with Raindrops and Daisies Green Day
once again, it is always lovely to have you join in.
Have a good weekend.
Leia, thank you! For me anniversaries are more important than birthdays:)
Thank you, Jackie. Tried to make the best of it, because we both had the flu! But in the summer we're going to do something special. I don't know Jasc Paint Shop ... sounds like it's practical! Since hubby had taken a photoshop class, he taught me some things (enough to get by for blogging):)
LOL! Thanks for visiting!
Thank you Eileen for being a blog friend! For always being interested, and often coming by:)
Thanks so much, friend! Now I'm feeling better, I'll visit yo soon:) Have a great upcoming week!
Jim thank so much! Can you tell, California is very intercultural:)
That photo was from the pre-digital era! The dishes were simple, but their service was very personablet!
Thank you friend -that photo alone was worth this post:)
Stephanie, so many times I have had no pic of our anniversary,so I thought we needed one for posterity:)
Thank you, Karen! We had a nice celebration:)
Thank you! Wow, never would have thought that it would be a point and shoot -good job!
Lucinha, thank you! We receive your blessings gladly:)
Oh you mean "The Escape? That's Joshus and Caleb:)
thank you Maria:) Have a great week!
Faye, Thank you! It was good no one told us about the fire hazard every year, or we might not have come to CA and we would have missed a great life!
Texwisgirl, thank you! it can't be that long, but it is:)
Gale, once one goes through something like that, you never forget it! Probably the same with a flood, hurricane, or earthquake that was traumatic for one or another reason. Happy for you, you didn't lose anything or your father!
Thank you Claudia! Your wish is much appreciated:)
Thank you so much, Joy! It's a great beginning of the year:)
Carol, thank you! Sometimes it's good to look back and count the blessings of years gone by!
Naturefootstep, Sometimes looking to the past, make us appreciate the present even more!
Thank you, James, we will! Sorry, our anniversary was on the 25th of Jan. -was just late in posting! That must have been some bike that you still remember it...was it because it was purple?
Vane, oh yeah, in the 70ties I was still young:):) Thanks you!
Tsuki,thank you! That's what i exactly had in mind!
Thank you! I really like Green Day, because I love nature. Since I live close to Hollywood, I may watch my clothes a little more, but I'm very down to earth:)
Thank you for your wishes! Much appreciated:)
It certainly is another thing... and it is a very good thing! And Happy belated Anniversary to you both. (
Congratulations! It's wonderful that your marriage has lasted 41 years!!
Congratulations! I love your pics.
Happy Happy Anniversary! What a beautiful post to remember - I enjoyed all the photos and found the smoke filled sky from California the most poignant (I spent my youth on the west coast, like nowhere else on earth:). Congratulations to you both.
wow, I love your outfit from the older photo! the two of you look so young and happy :) I hope your years continue being filled with joy!
Belated wishes for a Wonderful Anniversary!!
Congratulations on 41 years!
love that 70s coat!
I've never had Peruvian food--wonder what it's like...
