Ruby Anniversary

Mr R and I have celebrated our Ruby Anniversary this weekend. Forty years has gone by so quickly and yet I can hardly remember a time when he wasn't in my life. It seems like it was only yesterday that we were ferrying kids to football and dance class and passing in the driveway with a quick kiss hello.We had talked about how we wanted to celebrate this milestone along with Mr R's big birthday and hence our trip came about as being together is our favourite way to be.
I asked our Daughter who loves dabbling in photography and is in my opinion very good at it if she would mind taking a couple of pics of her Dad and I up at Daisy Hill State Forest to mark the occasion. You never seem to take time out to this as you get older. I wanted them up there as I just love it and  is a very special place to me and has been a venue for fun family get togethers over the years as well.
I thought I would share a couple with you.......who ARE those babies in that photo????

It was a beautiful day and a couple of little wallabies came to see what we were doing and what the shenanigans were all about. We were very poor subjects for a very patient Melissa as we had trouble being serious as you can see and there was lots of laughter...well hysterics almost in some cases and lots of shaking of the head and sighing on her behalf.

I do really love the next photo......

There are lots of other lovely ones but are just for us. Unbeknown to us while we were up in the forest our lovely Daughter-in-law was at home making us a lovely afternoon tea which she and Melissa had been in cahoots about. It was a lovely surprise with the little boys and lots of yummies. Melissa created another gorgeous cake for us and I can tell you it tasted as good as it looks!

Cutting the cake together.....

Of course there is no show without punch or a pair of them actually and both were hanging out for that cake to get cut. Master L did himself proud with his piece and Master C polished off all the strawberries.

and his partner in crime....

We all paid for the sugar hit later on but hey that's what it is all about being with the Family we created together and love so much. Thanks so much for your thoughtfulness and love. xxx
We have been out for a lovely breakfast this morning just the two of us....so here's to many more years together.
Happy 40th Anniversary Dear One,
Love Always Michelle xx
