May 27, 1978

On this day, twenty-seven years ago to day, THGGM and I got married.

For this part of West Michigan which usually has cool and rainy Memorial Day weekends, it certainly was not the case on THIS one.

The ceremony began at 2:00 in the afternoon. The church (which i can presently see reflected on my computer screen as i write this) was a sweltering 92 degrees.

It was a simple affair.

The reception was cake and ice cream in a very warm church basement.

We spent our first night in our new apartment, which used to be a boarding house. All the rooms were numbered.

For our honeymoon we went to Mackinaw Island. Lilacs were blooming everywhere.

Tomorrow we will celebrate by antique shopping along the lake shore.

I can't wait.

Happy Anniversary!! And thanks for all your kind comments!
My sister's wedding was pretty hot: 105 in Palm Desert, CA in May.

Hope you had a great time shopping along the lake shore today and didn't get too cold.

92 degrees it wasn't.

Judy, you are a hoot! Whenever I am a grumpy menopausal PMSer I come to your site and I leave...well...a HAPPY menopausal PMSer. As you know, it takes A LOT to make a PMSer happy, especially a middleaged one. Keep me chuckling! You're the best cure for the blahs since Black Cohosh!
