We took a trip down memory lane this weekend.
It took us past places where we once lived.
Where hubby grew up.
Where we lived with our young family.
Where the ferry used to cross the river...
and the bridge now stands.
By the experimental farm where we used to go for picnics.
Past cousin Loretta's place on the other side of the river.
Past the old railway station...
and the museum in Harrison Mills.
By pastoral pastures...
with fields of Charolais cattle.
To the monastery that sits on the hill overlooking the mighty Fraser.
Down the trail that leads to the lookout...
...where one can see the churning muddy waters and the farmlands beyond.
The river that is still used today to transport logs from one place to another.
Memory lane was a good place to be...
on this long-weekend Saturday.
Especially for Vern and Martha (hubby's sister)...
who were visiting from Kelowna...
...and who were celebrating their 50th wedding anniversary that very day.
Mr. and Mrs. Willms.
Married in Chilliwack, BC on May 18, 1963.
They haven't changed a bit...
have they? :)
When our trip down memory lane came to an end...
we took them to Milestones for a celebration dinner.
It seemed the appropriate place to go!
They are celebrating with their family at Harrison Resort for the next few days.
Congratulations, Vern and Martha on reaching this milestone.
Blessings to you both as they carry on down the trail from here.
The past is a diary of God's faithfulness.
Take a long look back and remember.
'Till now the Lord has helped us.'
1Samuel 7:12
