25 Years

Ernie and I looked at some of our wedding pictures last night. He pointed out that we are getting to the age that our parents were at that time. I said, "NOOOOOO we are NOT" but of course, upon reflection....we are getting there.

Freaking crazy, time is....

Happy Anniversary with all my love Ernie.....we are so blessed to have one another....

Here we are over the years.

visiting my sister in Boston in 1982 or 83

at a party in mmm 84 or 85 at LuAnn's house I think

mid 80s at the porch at 306 W. Columbia

This was taken while I was in grad school in Michigan...so 85-87

at Lori Knowles' wedding... late 80s in Chicago

at my folks' house, 1990ish

Thanksgiving in Rogers Park, early 90s

2006

in Maine....a year or two ago

And God but I loved our wedding.....in our little apartment on the lakefront in Rogers Park...just a few beloved friends and then later on we trooped across the street to the Lighthouse, a classic Chicago bar...the kind that didn't turn their beer signs on because they didn't want to attract non-regulars... It was glorious....and good GOD it was twenty-five years ago!!!

opening presents, a bearded Pat Daily grinning in the background

Ernie doing his classic hunch, with the inimitable David Conroyd..look at the nice high ceilings that apartment had

with my Mom, wearing the red wool wedding dress she made me...

this is exactly how I remember my father

the beautiful Sasha Rubel, looking much as she does now
