An Afternoon Date For Our 28th

It was a picture perfect day and who could ask for anything more for celebrating our 28 years together.  We dined under an umbrella, out on the lawn at the Jordan Pond House in Acadia National Park. 

A place known for their popovers. 

How about just one more bite Henri? 

My seafood chowder was so good! 

Look!  Two more popovers with his meal.  This place is awesome!

Me, trying to savor the moments before they pass too quickly.   

Pinch me, I just love it here.  It's casual, yet such a dreamy setting. 

You can even bring your favorite pooch if you want. 

And the service, perfection.     

The best part of an afternoon date, is that you make it back home before dark in time to watch everyone leaving for their sunset cruise while you take your evening stroll. 

We are so very blessed to get to share yet another August 5th together.   And for that we remain very thankful and a little dazed by how fast 28 years seems to have flown by for us. 

Bucket of Truth

Early this evening we made a trip over to Bar Harbor to celebrate a milestone.

We sat at an outside table right next to the entrance to the bar.

Tonight we made a toast to each other

in celebration of 27 wonderful years together!

Henri started off with a beet salad.




And then a lamb burger (with fries.)





My McKay's house salad.

And 2 yummy, crispy crab cakes.

After dinner we took a stroll around Bar Harbor, and ended up at an ice cream place, standing in line behind a couple that we found out were also celebrating their anniversary. They both ordered the same flavor which was called "Bucket of Truth" and then with a wink told us it was their anniversary. When we told them we were celebrating ours too, and then decided to follow suit and order the same flavor, we all had a little laugh together. In case you're wondering, bucket of truth ice cream is chocolate and caramel swirl with pecans. It was sooooo good.

And so very appropriate

For another sweet toast together at the end of our day!

Scenic Routes and Milestones

Tonight in Bar Harbor, we took a walk along the historic 100 year old Shore Path.

It was such a lovely, warm summer evening for a stroll along the ocean.

And seeing the town all lit up

on this particular night in August

just added to the magical feeling

of being able to

once again

celebrate another year together

We were married 26 years ago today.

Growing old together is pretty darn amazing.
