It's amazing how the time flies by.
Forty one years years ago...I was walking down the the aisle.
A young bride and groom brimming full of anticipation
of living a life together not knowing what the future held.
Forty one years later our family has expanded.
This past week we celebrated Levi's 11th birthday.
A day trip up the new 'Sea to Sky Gondola' life in Squamish,
gave our grandsons another adventure, as they hiked, and scrambled
through the rocks and stones while I tried to gently scramble behind them.
The trail was packed with tourists, when one of them blurted out loudly
The trail was packed with tourists, when one of them blurted out loudly
"I didn't know that Oma's could run..."
They put me in my place.
Who would of known that this little gal would be helping me in my kitchen.
"This is the way we wash our clothes, wash our clothes...."
She's schootching all over the place.
The laundry basket keeps her well contained.
"I didn't really like my dinner,
so I dumped it down the side of my chair and I'm proud of it."
Who would of known that 41 years later my husband would
need some culinary advice on how to eat Bratwurst?
We were sitting in an outside patio in Austria and ordered our standard food.
Bratwurst!
We politely asked for cutlery.
The waitress said,
"Mr. John, let me show you how to eat Bratwurst."
She took his hand and dipped it into the mustard and horse radish
and then continued to shove his hand to his mouth.
" Now that's how you eat Bratwurst in Austria"
Who would of known that we would be cycling the Danube river?
One amazing accomplishment and highlight over this past year.
"It's the dreams of our hearts that bring us
luck and happiness along our way."
I still feel like a young bride brimmed full of excitement for the future.
I'm grateful for the life I've been given and feel blessed to share this day.
Love is patient, Love is kind.
