Forty Years Later

For forty years, my husband and I have been using the cups from the reception for our bathroom cups. (Yes, there were more than just two.) We took all the leftovers and have been using them all these years. The handle of my last one broke several years ago. My husband’s is still unbroken. My cup will be replaced with a new one before the end of 2012.

Flower Girls Years Apart

When I got married in 1972, 

my niece was my flower girl.

Somewhere over the years, I kidded her that

one day when she got married, my little girl could carry the same basket and be her flower girl.

Turns out that’s exactly what happened.

Forty Years

This still goes on after forty years.

Forty years ago . . .

December 23, 1972

and this is what I was wearing.
