24 years ago, we took this little carriage ride, as we had just been married. (My brother-in-law surprised us with this gift.)
Yay for us! I’m so proud of our marriage. As you know, it isn’t always easy. We’ve been through a lot together and all of it – good and bad – has made us stronger.
I was afraid of marriage and Don had been married before. So neither of us had a good track record. Somehow, it worked and keeps on working and I cannot imagine what my life would have been like if I had not met Don. I’m profoundly grateful for the presence of this incredible person in my life.
You’ve heard it all before in the years I’ve been writing this blog.
Life with Don is a glorious adventure. I never take it for granted.
Here’s to many more years of wedded bliss.
Stay safe.
Happy Wednesday.

Congratulations! That’s a lovely ❤️milestone you and Don have reached together. The traditional 24th anniversary gift is an opal. My husband and I were surprised by a carriage ride after our wedding ceremony. It was a gift from my husband’s sister. They don’t allow horse-drawn carriages in Toronto any more. Enjoy your day. Make good memories. The girls will be celebrating, too. Hugs, Elaine

Happy Anniversary Claudia and Don! I love this picture of the two of you and I wish you and Don many, many more happy years together.
It’s sad that Nevada City no longer has those horse drawn carriage rides, but we have many fond memories of rides with our family in them, too!

Martha in Santa Fe says
Happy Anniversary to you both! Such a charming photo of you two! So special. Quite right you are, both the good times and the rough patches help to bind. Both a giving and a forgiving heart. Or maybe, for me, forgetfulness. ;-)
NYCgirl says
Oh, love this pic!
Happy 24th wedding anniversary to you both :)
Maybe you can sit on the porch together and watch the crazy storms which are predicted? Whatever you decide to do, maybe just being cozy inside your own nest, will be the right thing.
