On
and off this month, I’ll share some of my collection of G and M pictures. Since I live with a camera in my hand most of
the time, I have lots of us pictures.
We
met in 1983, and I confess that I am 12 years older than he. G was sober, and I was certainly not. Twelve years later, after my stepfather died
and I no longer qualified for free medical care, we married. Sometimes the most sideways of reasons for
something still work even after 32 years.

There we were in the tiny OB cottage.
Grandma’s bookcase is crowded two deep in science fiction, my cat-scratched journals, and mysteries,
and George is sitting in Gimpa’s Morris chair.
Middle: 1986: Wedding day at the
big house after everyone was gone. Our
shoes are off. Bottom: 1986: Vegas: We had a new truck, so we drove to Vegas for
our honeymoon. I'd never been. G won enough to pay for the honeymoon. It snowed, by the way,
and we ended up sharing a small cab with all our luggage. As soon as we got home, we bought a lid for the
bed of the truck.
Life
has never been the same.
Cute photos. I should do the same with my he and me photos.
ReplyDeleteThese photos really tell such a magnificent story. You both are well matched and look so happy. Who took the post wedding photo? I was going to ask who owned all those books and if G was a bookworm, but your answered my question.
ReplyDeleteLove the photos of the two of you...You make a good pair.
ReplyDeleteI forget, then I remember. I am really good at remembering actors names, if I liked them, and sometimes if I didn't like them. Surely there is a role for that?
ReplyDeleteCongratulations. We will be married 33 years in either July or August. I always ask David if he can remember. BTW, he resumed his Sunday meeting. Got him down because as he puts it...they're all young.
Loved looking at these photos. 32 years. Wonderful.
ReplyDeleteSo cool to see the two of you through the years. Your longevity is something many of us only dream about.
ReplyDeleteThere is a common factor in the photos : you are on his right hand and there is a feeling of togetherness. Treasure it.
ReplyDeleteWhat cool photos, love them.
ReplyDeleteLovely post....my daughter is currently engaged to a man 12 years younger...nice to know it just might work out!
