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.

Wow ...so many years with the same person, no? amazing...we live - learn - and grow...stretched, changed - better!...yet still in some ways both still our same "person" - just adapted into something we never each would have been if we had not had the other person with us. We grooooooow on each other. Your anniversary celebration looks divine...the food scrumptious. (wow) and I raise my glass to you. 27 years is becoming a rarity in this generation and era.Kudos!

PS: I thought of
you, today, as I
captured an image
of two osprey chicks
in a towering nest
above the Columbia
River!
A very happy anniversary to you and Henri, and many more too.

Hello Henri & Lili,
Congrats on your milestone; definitely worth celebrating.
I find your website and the embedded awsome pictures a true piece of art.
I wonder if you would reach me at E-mail: fensies@aol.com. I have a favor to ask on behalf of a niece of Henri's mother who lives in Belgium.
Kind regards,
