For Midweek Blues For Alphabe - KFor Sky Watch For Weekend Reflections For Scenic Sunday For MellowYellow Monday
Yesterday the calender was marked as the 40th anniversary.
Forty years ago we started in Berlin, our neighbor country.
Now we live across the ocean in subtropical California.
Many moons and even more sunsets have passed
most of them in fair weather
we tossed it to the wind that "everyone" we knew (except for one adult)
said 40 years ago
said 40 years ago
we didn't fit, and it wouldn't last!*
nevertheless, we fulfilled many of our big dreams
and even more of the little ones,
nevertheless, we fulfilled many of our big dreams
and even more of the little ones,
and our boat* proved to be a keeper!
I couldn't ask for anything more.

What a wonderful celebration post of your journey to a new life! Delightful reflection in the photo complements your thoughts!
Congratulations! What a magnificent photo. Have a wonderful weekend.
cool reflection shot. :)
re my sky shot.
You are welcome to use it Jeanette. I would be very pleased if you let me see the result if you actually paint it. :)
The name of the lake is Duveholmssjön (Duveholm lake) and it is located in Katrineholm, Sweden. :)
Karena,
It took me a while, perusing your blog, that I discovered you've commented before here, but you grew your hair!! Very pretty:)
Island Rambles,
thanks so much! Something is wrong with my photoshop, so I edited this pic in Picasa, and I have to say the first one does a better job!
Jewaicious,
Thanks so much, and also for your visit here!
Rudee,
Id doesn't seem that long! Hubby kept reminiscing about 40 years, this day was...till I finally got it -yes, it really happened!
Pretty Life,
Thank so much and I'll do my best!
Congratulations!
Beautiful post and photo!
Have a great weekend.

Great post and a nice shot. It's been over 30 years since I moved to the USA.
Great photo. The colors and reflection are super. (I like the name of the little boat, too.)
Congratulations on your anniversary!
Congratulations on your anniversary and for having the courage and persistence to chase your dream. Great posting - lovely colourful and evocative capture. Thanks for visiting my blog and commenting.
Congratulations! A beautiful photo to remind you of your 40 years. Love the colors in it. Mickie :)
That is an awesome photo!
Happy anniversary! It's a lovely shot. Nice reflections! Holland is a lovely country (my father grew up in Amersfoort), but the California weather is greater :o)
Happy Sunday!

I totally love the picture with the little boat, green algae, and upside down yellow houses. 40 years together--congratulations!
40 years...wow!!! Bud and I will be together for 44 yrs this May ---you and I and our mates are a breed apart from the rest of the world...you just don't see this happening much in today's times. And the image you've chosen...another wow...both the reflection and your 40 years shows steadfast ability of survival [and love] with the strength to carry on for many more years.
My Monday Post if you'd like to stop by to visit...is:
THEY CALL ME MELLOW YELLOW
Rosie,
Thank you so much on both accounts!
Monika,
Thank you! Maybe I've been looking too much at how James from Weekend Reflection does his photos:)
Tatjana,
Thanks so much, Tatjana! Those details coming from you I'll take as a compliment:):)
Gemma,
Since I was young when married, no telling how it would have turned out if I hadn't! Thank you:)
Mandy,
Thanks so much -had a great one! Have a happy week:)
Naturefootstep,
Thank you so much for your permission and the info. about the lake! Of course, when it turns out well, I'll post it and will alert you then.
Camera Cruise,
Thank you, Friend! Hope you have a great week!
Al,
Thank you! And I realize I wasn't clear in my post, so I put the little footnotes on the bottom:)
Marvin,
You're the first one who mentions the name of the boat -not every Titanic sinks:)
Valerie,
That marriage, was only one of my daring acts! And obviously I have no regrets! Your blog was a pleasure to visit!
Mickie,
Half a year ago, I had planned on a get together, but since I'm spread over two continents, it was too much work to organize...maybe with 50?
Reena,
So jazzed I got to "meet" you -maybe now I'll come more to my wordpress blog:)
Irene,
Interesting about your father, I always thought there was something Dutch about you! Maybe your artistic bent on your blog and your first name? Haha, your dad taught you how to greet in Dutch:)
Kateri,
Thank you, and also for your visit! Am curious what the name Kateri means?
Anni,
Thank you, thank you! A good marriage should keep one young -and that's the rich benefit!
beautiful up side down house, loved it :-) visiting from MYM, hope that you can return the visit too.

Once in a while, I can concentrate enough to plan a good shot, lol!
J'aime beaucoup le nom du petit bateau : "Titanic2"
;-)
J'aime aussi l'effet "renversant" du reflet des bâtiments dans l'eau....
Belle journée,
Pierre
