Seven Years Ago

It is seven years ago this spring that this photo was taken. It was a few years previous, that we were in Mexico, having a lovely sunset dinner, when busylizzy pushed back her chair to return to the buffet and promptly bumped into a stranger. Being a proper English gentleman, he took responsibility and what ensued was a friendly battle to determine who was most apologetic. After coming to a truce, introductions were made and thus was the beginning of a wonderful and lasting friendship. Their visit to Canada a few years later was a highlight for us as we got to show them around the province a bit. When our invitations to the Royal Wedding were lost in the mail last month, we postponed our visit to London, but are still planning to do it. We are not yet retired, as they are, so it presents a few challenges, but we will get there. I just need to dig out a few old photos to remind me of how important this will be.
