Seriously!!!! Married 47 Years

Yes, you read correctly!! 47 years ago today we were married outside Buffalo, New York.. Seems like a week ago :=) Small Church wedding, back then if you married a non-Catholic, you could have a ceremony, but not a Mass.. My, how times have changed.. I remember it was hot and sticky. Our reception after, for about 75 people, was held at the local country club.. Very ritzy.. Our wedding album was in black and white...
Our honeymoon was a road trip to Virginia Beach.. Even back then we were beach people..
We then returned to hubbys bachelor pad in Wilkes-Barre, Pa. That place was the pits. Front door opened to the bedroom thru which you went on to the living room, then kitchen.. Lovely... But, to be honest, we knew he was being transferred to Pittsburgh. So a month later, we found an apt in Pittsburgh, and 10 months later our first little bundle arrived!! So much for my budding career in Microbiology.. It's been a wild and crazy ride ever since!!
Going out to dinner tonight.. we always pick a nice place.. preferably with good seafood.. Think tonight we're going to Mitchells Seafood Restaurant.. Its down on the South Side with a porch on the river.. the Monongahelia.. fun... OR maybe, I just thought of the Grandview Saloon.. That place is amazing.. an outdoor deck overhanging the top of Mt Washington... If you've ever seen pictures of Pittsburgh from Mt Washington, that's the view.. No prettier city in the world!!
Check out the eagles.. The three of them are out of the nest, roosting on nearby limbs, getting up the courage to take the plunge... Fascinating!!
