MORE FUN PHOTOS OF US CELEBRATING OUR 50TH ANNIVERSARY.

LIVING IT UP IN THE PORCÃO JULY 1ST 2011, CELEBRATING 50 YEARS TOGETHER. 



After that the meat course with so many choices.



 The buffet came first with all sorts of exotic delicacies including Japanese food which I love, dozens of types of salad and lots of sea food too.



Resting before the second course.





This was my thankyou kiss for a wonderful evening but it was really at the insistance of the waiters who kept wanting to take more and more photos of us.

THIS COMES WITH OUR LOVE TO YOU ALL JUST TO SHOW YOU HOW MUCH WE ENJOYED OUR VERY SPECIAL DAY.

Celebrations

FRIDAY the 1st July Stuart  booked a very special dinner for us at a restaurant called O Porcão. For those of you who don´t speak Portuguese, that means the Big Pig. Not very flattering but actually one of he best and most popular eating places in Rio. In a beautiful setting overlooking Flamengo beach.  The staff treated us like royalty, taking photos, producing a cake with sparklers and making it an evening to remember.





  SUNDAY

A wonderful thanksgiving service led by Bishop Sherrill who first invited us to work in Brazil 42 years ago.

Some of the children presented us with 2 marvellous original paintings done in a lovely contemporary style and depicting famous places in Rio. They will look great in our new house that God has graciously provided for us in Watford UK;
BUT... They are soooooo BIG! How will we get them on the plane?





                                      

The happy couple with much to praise God for. There were lots of people watching us.... honest!
Besides a beautiful traditional fruit cake made by one of our dear friends the little packets are called Bem casados. That means well married in Portuguese. 2 little biscuits stuck together with something delicious in the middle


Cutting the cake.

and finally......the  kiss!

THANKS SO MUCH TO ALL OUR FRIENDS FOR A WONDERFUL DAY.
