I woke this morning with a thought of both joy and panic.... Joyful in that I am still residing in blissful Happiness with the man laying beside me ... yet panic in that I REALLY want to know where the last 34 years has gone??!! I swear to you I was JUST 23 ... had no butt and no 'extra' chin ..and he was void of gray.... how does this happen??? Oh Well...I guess it is just some sort of ancient mystery that will never be explained...so for now, I am one of the luckiest girls in the world in that I found my Perfect Match and Mate in Richard...and he in me. 34 years ago almost to the minute of me jotting this message...Richard and I were wed in his Mother's Backyard under a mulberry tree that Richard planted when he was a boy ...sitting on hand made quilts that his mother made... we wanted this setting and not a church as we felt more spiritual in his mothers yard.. I made my dress from cotton linen and sewed on beads , nuts and organic little pods....I made Richard shirt .... our wedding party was casual and laid back...a small gathering of friends and family...we ate Veggie Burgers (I was a Vegetarian when I met Richard) and had homemade carrot cake
in the shape of a big natural log (one of my friends was a baker)...pretty cool. We drank Nectar Rose Wine (they no longer make this wine) and listened to Seals and Crofts, Crosby Stills and Nash and John Denver. Then Richard and I headed to the wilds of outdoor camping in Utah and Colorado...it was heaven!I created a 'Gallery of Memories' on our PBASE Gallery if anyone wants to 'Witness the Aging Process' and Gallery of Glasses and Hair-dos over the last 34 years.... kinda fun...
