28

October 12, 2026 at 9:07 am by Claudia

On this date 28 years ago, we got married.

Best thing I ever did. I am deeply and profoundly grateful for our marriage. We work hard at it. But, honestly, most of it is effortless. We found each other and managed to get past our fears and past patterns of behavior and forge a life together.

He is incredibly supportive of me. He has my back – always.

As am I, for him.

You all know the story by now.

All I can add is this: I am sometimes so rocked to my core by the depth of my love for him that I am brought to my knees.

I somehow found the love of my life and you can bet I absolutely know how lucky I am.

Happy Annniversary to us.

Stay safe.

Happy Indigenous Peoples Day.

    Congratulations! Nothing better than finding the right partner for life. You know it’s the right one when both do the “work” part of marriage and the rest is the blessing of the easy parts.

    Happy anniversary! You two are so adorable.
    Mine was Friday and I feel exactly the same. We eloped in 1981 and hooboy, the world was a different place. Unrecognizable today.
    Cheers and toasts to many more!

    Very nice photo! You’re so fortunate to have found each other. Congrats on your anniversary. The first man I ever fell for was kind of a famous musician with a symphony here in canada. So talented and he was older than me, and I was just 19 at the time. We had a long distance relationship, but after, we did maintain a friendship. Ill never forget that sweet time. Oh, love… im a hopeless romantic.
    Oh, guess what? A blythe doll, along with a couple outfits and such, are on their way to me. Im so over the moon excited! Im also happy as the search was long and then I came upon this doll who’s perfect. Looks dutch, and is made in Ontario. I’ll let you know when my fourth blythe arrives.

    Happy anniversary to you both, and congratulations on making it such a success.
    My husband and I have been married 41 years : I can’t believe where those years have gone!
    Seems to me that both you and I were lucky and each found one of the good ones, and they were lucky and found us.
    Enjoy your special day.

Welcome!

Welcome!

I live in a little cottage in the country with my husband. It's a sweet place, sheltered by old trees and surrounded by gardens. The inside is full of the things we love. I love to write, I love my camera, I love creating, I love gardening. My decorating style is eclectic; full of vintage and a bit of whimsy.

I've worked in the theater for more years than I can count. I'm currently a voice, speech, dialect and text coach freelancing on Broadway, off Broadway, and in regional theater.

Thanks for stopping by.
