Two couples, friends since their college days in the fifties, are on a road trip, which started with an airport pick up in Vancouver, B.C., and a Labor Day picnic at Sandy Point, Washington. For one couple, now living in Panama, it’s a summer long celebration of their golden wedding anniversary, as they revisit where they met and places they lived and spent time over the years. This leg of the celebration includes areas of the Pacific Northwest and Canada, with stays in Kamloops, Salmon Arms, Halcyon Springs, Trout Lake, and Grand Forks, B.C. Lake Chelan in Washington is next, and the final destination will be Edmonds, Washington.
I am the self designated recorder of this remarkable adventure, and will be telling you more about it next Sunday. A few months ago I wrote about the importance of celebrations. In these days where marriage is often bypassed by young couples, a committed relationship of fifty years is noteworthy. That the couple's two sons flew in from Boston and D.C. to join us in a remote area of Canada so that they could plant two trees in honor of their parents is also significant. You will love the story of this romance and how to achieve long term wedded bliss. I’ll fill you in next week.
