A day to celebrate!!

45 years ago today, Harry and I got engaged.  I've told the story over and over - my kids know it by heart I think.  For those who may have missed out, we made the decision to get married on Bastille Day - we made the decision on Bastille day, we weren't going to get married on Bastille Day.  Talk about vague antecedents!!

And after we got that settled, we went to the Hollywood Bowl and saw Margot Fonteyn and Rudolf Nureyev in Swan Lake.

It was all very memorable and romantic - and it's been that way ever since!!

Note:  This is a photo when we were celebrating that we had hit the two-digit mark - 99 days until we were going to get married on December 22nd.  There are absolutely no photos of us from that lovely summer courtship in 1967.  Sometimes I wish there were photos.  But the memories are sharper and clearer than any photo could be anyway!!

Is he growing horns??

As everyone knows, I've been busy sorting photos for my scanning project.  One of the reasons it's such a big job is because you keep coming across photos that you have to stop and laugh at, or sigh over, or just smile.

This is from 1998 - just after Phoebe and David got engaged.  We took lots of photos in the living room - not noticing that the dried plants in a vase on the mantle often ended up looking like they were growing out of someone's head!!

And it looks like Phoebe's scolding David for having strange things growing out of his head!!

Okay, back to the sorting!!
