Along the Rogue River in Oregon
Posted by Judy (Brooksville, Florida, United States) on 14 June 2009 in People & Portrait and Portfolio.
Winding our way west across the US to the northwest, before sailing on the Matanuska Ferry to Alaska. This was near the beginning of our five-month long trip to celebrate our 40th anniversary.

@Leena: Yes, Leena, a true dream came true. Five months of exploring our country and a bit of western Canada together was heavenly. We had a wonderful time!

We have joined you in being on pins and needles waiting for the pathology report. The Rogue is a fabulous river. We lived in Juneau for 7 years in the late 70s and early 80s; so we spent some wonderful times on the Matanuska.

@john4jack: Thank you, Jack, however the surgeon said that either way, he thinks I'll be fine.
Wow, Juneau had to have been an interesting place back when you were there - less crowded. We enjoyed our one-way trip from Bellingham to Haines on the Matanuska.

How fortunate that you can travel your great country without passports or visas. I suppose each state has its own identity though. Great shot Judy..!

@observing: Well, we did have to have papers as we traveled in and out of Canada. :D

I really feel like I'm getting to "know" you guys from your vacation shots!!! You're so lucky to have traveled to all these wonderful places........

@Susan: We feel really blessed to have done the traveling we did WHEN we did, before the IRS changed the status of Mike's pension agreement as a disabled firefighter!

umm, 10 years ago and I bet those years have just flown by. Gorgeous couple, gorgeous bubbling river. I love the raw beauty of Oregon. That 50th anniversary is coming up pretty quick isn't it? I just know that as Ray and I approach our 48th how fast it has all gone by and had you told us back then where we would be now and what we would be doing, we would just shake our heads in wonder. I think that you and Mike are like Ray and I.... we wouldn't change a thing except for the few heartaches that have come along the way. But as far as loving each other, no way would we change it. I wish you 10 or 20 more sweet friend.

@Marion: I know, how quickly the years go, but thankfully for you two and ourselves, the love just gets stronger. Without that, how would be ever have gotten over the hurdles put in our paths? All in all, we can say, "Well done." Right? xo

@MiNe: Thank you!
@Magda: We did for our 40th anniversary and are soooo happy we did. After that we had major pension changes and never could have done it after that.
