I keep reading these heart-breaking posts of people who planned weddings and anniversary celebrations here only to be cancelling their plans and we are blessed to be able to celebrate in Greece by jumping in the car and taking off on a road trip. Those 1980 young women we were are pretty young looking aren't they? (And I thought I was so old!!) Thank you so much for the good wishes ~ hopefully one day soon we will finally meet face-to-face or should I now say, mask-to-mask?? xxxJackie and Joel Smithhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14074129927177165084noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7011248318265372337.post-7671806569411986212020-07-13T04:36:54.786-07:002020-07-13T04:36:54.786-07:00Thanks for the wishes Amy!

I am so sorry to keep reading about how Covid is continuing to run rampant in the States and is keeping so many of my fellow traveler friends homebound. The country of Greece had 31 new cases yesterday and officials are monitoring those numbers closely -- all it will take is a spike and we shut 'er down again. So glad you and yours are healthy!!

I'm sure when you first married you never pictured even in your wildest dreams of calling such an exotic destination home. While the road over the years may have meandered and taken some detours, you sound like you are right where you belong! PS Love your wedding photo. When I look at mine (we were also married in 1980) I am just gobsmacked at how young I look and what a momentous decision picking the right partner can be. :-D Wishing you and Joel many more happy years together!Anita @ NoParticularPlaceToGohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14704807316472380660noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7011248318265372337.post-33635151538081063822020-07-10T21:20:34.496-07:002020-07-10T21:20:34.496-07:00Happy Anniversary!

I must admit to being a bit (okay, extremely) envious that Covid is under control where you are. Here in NJ and NY, we are also doing well, but the rest of the country hasn't learned from our experience, and the virus is raging out of control, as I'm sure you're aware. We bought a place in Florida a year ago, and hoped to escape to it a few times a year, but that's not happening any time soon. I'm trying not to look too far into the future to speculate about our winter plans in Florida. We'll have to wait and see. Just grateful that we are all healthy!Amy at Ms. Toody Goo Shoeshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11474198992341706776noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7011248318265372337.post-33594959735702087142020-07-08T07:20:29.902-07:002020-07-08T07:20:29.902-07:00That is a really pretty symbolic necklace.

And what a romantic fish he turned out to be, still in love after all those years, taking his wife to all those stunning places for romantic weekends. One of these days you should do a blog about how you two met and what is your love story anyway.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7011248318265372337.post-72056983230732172632020-07-06T15:48:38.326-07:002020-07-06T15:48:38.326-07:00Love the west coast!
