Henri Nouwen said that "Celebration is not just a way to make people feel good for a while; it is the way in which faith in the God of life is lived out; through both laughter and tears. Thus celebration goes beyond ritual, custom and tradition. it is the unceasing affirmation that underneath all the ups and downs of life there flows a solid current of joy."
This past week we have had a meal in our motorhome, Sylvia, to remember some past happy times camping. Sunday we had a fun canoe ride on Porter's Lake After a breakfast at Lisa and Mike's we were directed to a new-to-us hiking zone. They also sent us a wonderful picnic lunch. Taylor Head Provincial Park--all in one afternoon we experienced brilliant sunshine, fog, rugged coast line, forest, beach. It was exhilarating. So many breathtaking scenes. Also you will note a picture of Lou doing what is common for him every time we are out and about--cleaning up the world, one beach at a time!To end the day after we arrived home, and a mystery anniversary chocolate cake was sitting on our counter. Delicious!!
We are so thankful for our family and the goodness of God!

Congrats to you both once again! Neat to see and read of your weekend activities- of both outdoor and indoor special memory times- can imagine the contents of that picnic lunch was amazing!
Congratulations, Marilyn and Lou on your 40th wedding anniversary! What a wonderful way to celebrate all the fun things you enjoy so much. I loved the quote from Henri Nouwen and have stored that one away for further reflection. How great of Lisa and Mike to be so involved in making this occasion so meaningful and memorable for you all! God bless and keep you always!
Love, Al and Alice
Thank you friends!
