my Mother and I

This picture was taken on March 20, 1976.  It was my sister's wedding day and our mom was glowing with happiness and pride as the mother of the bride.  I was Susan's matron of honor.  The choice of dress fabric for the day was polyester, of course.  Holds up beautifully.  Mom and Dad were married for over fifty years.  My sister and her husband are in their forty second year of marriage.  My hat's off to both of these lovely couples, as well as to my brother Duane and his wife Carole who have just recently passed the fifty year mark in marriage.  There's beauty in longevity.  Congrats.
