Thirty-four years.  That’s how long Mui and I have been married.  Today we took a step into year 35 — and we did so with the dawning of a beautiful day on the beach at GWRVR.

When we got married in İzmir, Turkey in 1981, 26 November happened to fall on Thanksgiving.  Every so many years, the calendar brings us back to this special holiday — perfect for giving thanks for all we have … all we are able to do … times two.

Beginning Year 35 with a beautiful sunrise.

What made today extra special was that we got to celebrate it with friends here at GWRVR.  We were asked to bring dessert to the Thanksgiving dinner our friends were hosting at their pad.  So, Mui had the idea to surprise everyone with an anniversary cake.  Laughter and camaraderie … the crowning touch on our day.

Our dessert contribution to Thanksgiving dinner — surprise!

Happy Anniversary to us … and here’s to many, many more happy returns.

We’re Baack!

Actually, we returned from our trip to Europe on 14 November.  Hard to believe it has been nearly two weeks since we left NCL Jade in the Port of Houston following a 16-day cruise across the Big Pond.  We’ve been keeping busy with “getting settled again” chores, so perhaps the quick passage of time shouldn’t come as a surprise.

Hello Port of Houston!
