45 Years Ago Today

    

Can you say "scared shitless". I mean WTF was I doing? This marriage shit was for real now. It was our wedding rehearsal the evening before the wedding. I will not lie, it was getting scary.

Holy crap, I guess it's too late to duck out of this now!!!!!!

Rehearsal was at Ascension Church, Father David, Bob Kuhlberg, and Dean Loberg (top left). Regina and Carla, my bridesmaid and matron of honor - and a very nervous me and Chris (top right). Chris and I at the rehearsal dinner - remember Beef and Brew. After dinner a bunch of us "young uns" crammed into Jerry Manning's VW van and got soooooo stoned.

 Chris and I traveled to Spokane on Thursday June 9 to visit with our friends Nancy and Dean. Our friends treated us to a ZZ Top concert that evening. Here we are at dinner before the concert. Great times, great company and a great concert!

Happy Birthday to Nancy! 88 trips around the sun and she shines as bright as ever. 

 Happy Birthday to Jonathan and Dae! Dinner at Que Pasa on Friday, May 6. Great food, great drinks and best of all great family. 😻

A Most Excellent Christmas Day!

 Merry Christmas to all!

Xmas Tidings

 

Behold . . . the Hamling Christmas tree. Kind of looks like last year's tree and that's because it is! I love artificial trees, no mess and no extra expense every year. Goes up lighted and decorated in 15 minutes max. Best of all, my cats don't care. No climbing the tree or peeing on the tree. Don't have to remember to water the damn thing and don't have to worry about it drying out and being a fire hazard.

I've had better Christmases and I've certainly had worse. I wish Chris felt better, that would be the only Christmas present I want.

Merry Christmas to me.

It's been 44 years - so what do I do to celebrate?
