Continuing a Happy 70th Birthday Tribute to my dear husband.
We had a nice small celebration with our Colville kids and in-laws for Greg’s 70th on Saturday evening. Our kids called out to friends and family to mail cards to our Colville kids’ home to surprise him with greetings near and far. It was a surprise and so enjoyable to hear from so many. Thank you to any of you who are reading here for your wonderful greetings.
Now back to the Nineteen Seventies!
My birthday tribute for Greg continues with photos from the years we dated, toured England, were engaged, married, our honeymoon, setting up our first apartment, then two houses and our first major road trip from Southern California with stops in Colorado, Kansas, Illinois, Michigan, and Niagara Falls.
My sister Kathy’s wedding about 4 months before our wedding.
Bottom right is the two of us with our first niece, Jenna.
The little yellow Honda was the first vehicle we purchased together as a couple. It is the vehicle we made our road trip across the U.S.A. and into Canada in.
By the late nineteen seventies we were in our second home in Huntington Beach.
Next tribute will be after we had children which started in the late nineteen seventies.
Remembering the fact that today is the 22nd anniversary of the 9/11 attacks on the United States. We honor all those who’s lives were taken away so tragically on that day and the survivors who were forever changed by their experience on that day and the days that followed.
On 9-11-2001 We were living in Kenmore, Washington. We lived in this house until 2018. Never Forget!

Lovely to go down memory lane with you. I recognise those uk photos. B x
…and I had hair in the ’70s too.
So many happy memories, wonderful photos of your family. Take care, have a great day and a happy week ahead!
A great post Ellen, so many treasured photos and a lovely tribute to your husband on his 70th birthday. I also loved browsing each one and seeing what life was like for you both over the years. A belated Happy Birthday to your sweet hubby.
I loved seeing all the wonderful photos of you and your husband through the early years, Ellen! Happy 70th birthday to your dear! I also turned 70 this year, You were married the same year I was so it is also always nice to see your wedding photos and remembrances too.
We went through a project where we scanned and uploaded all our photo albums to a cloud–the recent wildfires made us aware of how easily all our photos could be lost if we did not do that–so it was fun to “re-live” life again that way.
I hope your dear has/had a wonderful celebration!! Happy Birthday!
What a beautiful post you have written and all the special pictures with your memories are wonderful. I will never forget 9/11.
A nice trip down memory lane. 🙂
So fun to see you as kids!!! 😄
