Another surprising gem from the vault

I admit it. I've become a total pig for the individual packets of old photos unearthed from the two giant cardboard boxes. It's like being made privy to secret visions of a forgotten world (with the added bonus of seeing us with dark hair).

We hand-painted our wedding invitations with watercolors, then hand-glued and assembled all 150 of them. This was taken in April of 1987. We had just cut them all to size by hand after they'd dried.

I love the way Peg's hand wraps around my neck, and how her head is close to mine. That's how we roll. We've created this life together in the 25 years since this photo was taken, and now we're creating how it will pass.

Peggy was tired today. Really weary. I try not to read too much into her energy level or appetite, because things can change so quickly...and because I have a good imagination and can go on all kind of tangients without a moment's hesitation.

A movie should be made of the love that the two of you have shared. No doubt it would be as beautiful as the invitations that started it all. Once again, your love inspires many.
