You may need a magnifying glass for this one - 1973 - Riverton, Utah. In honor of the snow some of you are experiencing. It was 75 degrees at 4:30 this afternoon here in SoCal!!

I came across this photo from our wedding reception - and thought how it didn't look totally like a 42 year old photo. Or maybe I've just looked at it for enough years that it doesn't seem old. But then they don't have "someone at the guest book" much anymore. And I love Pat Merrill's coat - I had a 6th grade teacher who wore a coat like that and I always wanted one for myself.
And this shot - well, these munchkins are all much older now - it must be 2004 - when we had 8 grandkids. Oh my, how the years fly!!


I guess the fact that we've almost got 42 years under our belts goes to show that you don't have to have an elaborate reception or even a nice backdrop to have a great marriage!
