YAY!

us--at Grindstone Marsh today

Taking a little rest. The chickadees came up beside us while we were sitting here.

on the Niagara Escarpment above Hamilton

We hiked along the Bruce trail that follows the Niagara escarpment through and beyond Hamilton.

Headed for Hamilton

Here's Keith at one of the waterfalls in Hamilton. We're excited

about our fifth-year anniversary trip today. I didn't sleep all night
so I am tried--hope I sleep tonight! It's been five years this
weekend since we decided to become sweeties. YAY!

I am excited also that you can now use the blog-send address to email
pictures to the blog. YAY!

Joe & Margaret, Early 70s?

Penciled in Margaret's handwriting: Xmas 1971

The second photo in not dated, so I don't know exactly when it was taken.
Joe has different eye glasses. Are the square frames more modern?

Mary and Keith on THE RED BRIDGE

Here we are on the foot-bridge over Nashua Creek on our outing to Belle Isle yesterday--you can't tell here, but finally the color is coming out.

You can see additional shots from this outing (sans us) here, here and here. Click images to view larger. All photos by me (including this one--tripod and run!)

Here we are in Bled, Slovenia, in the hotel elevator. Lots of us! Taken 6/23/07 (Click to view larger.)

Evolving love notes

I often jot little love notes to Keith on scraps of paper. Then, I reuse the notes, by changing them a little. When I do this over and over, they sometimes get quite ornate. (Click images to view larger.) [The scraps of paper are often quite small, 1/6 to 1/4 the size of an 8 1/2 x 11.]

See the last one slightly more evolved here.
