Double Wishes for DAD/BILL Love

To the fisherman, the father and the patient husband here at the Lovestead:  Happy Father's Day and Happy 40th Anniversary to Bill.  

You've done well in all three roles. 

It's been quite a ride, and we all love you very much, and so do the fish every time you take them off the hook and put them back into the streams or lakes.  

DAD Love with twin sister Margaret and three admiring Young Loves (Annie, Willie and Debbie) at Kylemore Abbey in Connemara, Ireland, April, 2014. 

Heading off to an Irish fishing stream near Killarney in County Kerry Ireland, with help from "Cousin Patrick" on Willie's 37th birthday, April 1, 2014.

One of the trips of our lives---a lovely day in Dublin, April, 2014, almost 40 years after our journey of Love and marriage began. 

We sat at the City Beach on a summer day more than 40 years ago, talking about our mutual dreams for a life of adventure.   

I think we've accomplished those dreams and so much more.   

Onward for more adventures as we reach our Golden Anniversary and enjoy those "golden years."
