Ken (left) and me in 1987, just after moving to California.In 1986 we loaded up the truck and we moved to Beverly. San Francisco, that is. Fog. Earthquakes. We stayed nearly eighteen years there, had what passes for careers in our lives, then cashed out to move to France in 2003. And here we are.
Twenty-six years, nine cars, five apartments, three houses, a swarm of earthquakes, a tank of fish, and two dogs later, here we are. And here we'll stay. For now, anyway.
I think I'll open something bubbly.
Good idea about the something bubbly. To your health! And many happy returns of the day!
ReplyDeleteWhat are you going to have for lunch? A tradition there?
A very very happy anniversary to you!! Funny how fast the time flies, isn't it?
ReplyDelete...and Bubbly it should be for twenty-six years...a testament to commitment, indeed!
ReplyDeleteI think you didn't need the "left" in the photo caption (or maybe you could have had a followers' quiz?).
Hold on, I'm going to open a bottle of champas too........Congratulations!
ReplyDeleteAndrew and I only have....19 years to go before reaching that milestone....that sounds like such a long way away!
Happy Anniversary to the both of you!
ReplyDeleteHappy Anniversary hope you have a lovely day, I am sure you will have some fine wine and delicious treats. :-)
ReplyDeleteI love your new header too!!
Hi Walt, Congratualations to you too. I've read Ken's blog first, and he didn't mention there would be bubbles. But somehow I knew :)) Check out my comment on his blog, and enjoy your day! Martine
ReplyDeleteCONGRATULATIONS ON 26 YEARS! Loved the photo :))
ReplyDeleteI'm looking forward to a description of the anniversary meal :)

Here's to many more years of breaking out the bubbly!
ReplyDelete*Clink* Here's to many more!
ReplyDeleteCongratulations and felicitations. We wish you many more of both anniversaries.
ReplyDeleteMy glass is raised to you both...CONGRATS! Wishing you many many more years of bubbly...
ReplyDeleteCHEERS......yet another excuse to drink champagne (or crement)
ReplyDeleteoh congratulations !
ReplyDeleteMay there be many many more - no more earthquakes though.
Please open some Pol Roger, my favorite!
My two favourite cities in the US : SFCal and WashDC, in addition to NOLA.
ReplyDeleteCongratulations for this 26th anniversary and many happy returns.
Cheers and congratulations! That picture makes me smile!
ReplyDeleteFelicitations a vous deux!
ReplyDeleteSo that means it must be the first anniversary of meeting us too ? I seem to remember Ken saying it was your 25th when we came for lunch with my parents.
ReplyDeleteMany congratulations, and wishing you many more years together.
Congratulations all round..
ReplyDeleteCongrats! I love a happily everafter story.
ReplyDeleteCongrats to you both, and much continued happiness.
ReplyDeletexoxo,
Ginny
P.S.--Can you believe Nadal is out of the French? Wow, wide open now.
Great match of Nadal's but hejust couldn't devise a strategy to overcome Soderling's power and relentless aggression. Wimbledon will be especially interesting this year.
ReplyDeleteCongratulations, may you have a wonderful day....Barb
ReplyDeleteLove the photo! You have good reason to celebrate both today (it's still June 1st here in Washington state) and tomorrow.
ReplyDeleteMany happy returns.
Congratulations! Here is to many more happy years.
ReplyDeleteThanks to all of you for your good wishes! We enjoyed the bubbly!
ReplyDeleteAnd, for Bill in NH, I added the "left" because there are still some people who can't tell us apart! Even some who've met us!
I add my congratulations and best wishes to all of those above.
ReplyDeleteOh, I'm late, sorry!
ReplyDeleteCongratulations and big hugs to you both! Great photo, Walt. You know, "they" say that couples start to look alike after many years together. ;-)

A little late, but I too wanted to join the chorus of congratulations!
ReplyDeleteWe had a glass of bubbly this evening (well it is Tuesday) and I thought of you. Felicitations. 26 years is quite something.
ReplyDeleteCongrats. It's very admirable to see a relationship last through the years. I hope it continues to grow strong.
ReplyDeleteCongratulations to the both of you. I hope that you have many more happy years together.
ReplyDeleteCalvin
Congratulations to you and your partner. Enjoy the bubbly.
ReplyDeleteCongrats!
ReplyDeletethe first 26 are the hard part...
Again, thanks to all of you who took the time to comment! We both appreciate it.
ReplyDeleteAnd to waterwings, calvin, and stephen, thanks for dropping by! I think this might be the first time you've commented? I hope you will continue! :)
