Let the Celebrations Begin . . . .


Ten years ago today, our family celebrated.

We had good reason, too.

On Aug. 11, 2001, Deborah Williams of Boise said "I do" to William E. Love III at St. Joseph's Catholic Church in Sandpoint.

Debbie has been one of the cherished "loves" of our lives ever since.

Happy Anniversary to Willie and Debbie.

~~~~~

There's a blue spruce out in the north lawn, which was presented to Bill and me by Willie and Debbie the night before the wedding.

That tree has endured some hardship, having to move five years ago from Great Northern Road to the Lovestead.

It thrives, just as Willie and Debbie's marriage does.

Today they will celebrate.

Debbie said their form of revelry may even include a little huckleberry picking.

If so, I hope their buckets are full.

Tomorrow, just like ten years ago, we'll celebrate another milestone in our mother's life.

Today is her last day in the 80s.

We celebrated her 80th birthday, the day after the wedding at a big birthday bash/picnic at Trestle Creek ten years ago.

Tomorrow, she'll say good bye to the 80s and hello to 90.

She's not quite sure if she really wants to welcome 90, but she figures she'll go along with the hoopla.

We'll have a reception for her tomorrow afternoon and will keep the birthday action going Saturday as family members dine with Mother at Western Pleasure.

Lots of fun and family times ahead.

No doubt, we'll probably pick up a wonderful supply of memories over the next three days.

This morning there's work to do, so I'll just sign off, wishing everyone a happy Thursday.

Congratulations to all! Have a joyous celebration. It's hard to believe 10 years have passed. How I wish I were there in person. Post LOTS of pics!
