38th Anniversary

Speaking of 150 years ago, 38 years ago today (April 27, 1973) John and I got married.  It was a rainy night in KY, a 7:30pm candlelight ceremony at St. Joseph Proto-Cathedral.  This was before there were computers, cell phones, VCR's, answering machines, microwave ovens, or even hand-held calculators (we used slide rules).  Richard Nixon was the President and Paul VI was Pope.

Since then we have lived in 14 different places:

1973 - Lake Road, Congers NY
1974 - Cedar Rapids Iowa
1974 - Homer Road, Midland MI
1975 - Scappoose Oregan
1976 - Pasco Washington
1977 - Lake of the Woods, Fredericksburg, VA
1977 -1979 Ben Lomand Farm, Gordonsville VA
1979 - Wading River, NY (Long Island)
1980 - 1984 Square Lake, Lake Park FL
1985 - Jupiter FL
1986 - ? Hazel Av House, Palm Beach Gardens FL
2008 - New Town, St. Charles, MO
2009 - Greenville, IL
2010 - ? Cranberry Township, PA

It's all been good.  Don't ask me why it has worked, but it has.

Today I went to a pottery shop in Pittsburgh and got this bowl to mark the occasion.  The colors reminded me of Pennsylvania.  It's going to be our salad bowl (replacing the plastic one!).

I also picked up 2 mugs for us.  Looks like the brown winter PA hillsides on there.

Love you, John!  We were made to be gypsies together in life.
