32 Years Ago



And the fun hasn't stopped! No, that's not a black wedding dress. I was a bit of a nonconformist back then. I made a dark green velvet dress and we were married by the mayor of our little town in my parents' living room. All fifteen of us trooped off to a local restaurant for dinner. Our honeymoon consisted of one night at the Holiday Inn. When fire alarms woke us up at 5:00 AM we got up and went back to my parents. By the time everyone got up, I was sewing at the kitchen table and Howie was sleeping in an empty bed! Some things never change

What did we do to celebrate our anniversary? We took a drive to East Berlin (PA that is, home of The Mannings).



Look what followed me home! I cashed in last year's and this year's gift certificates. I also picked up the Relaxobak Cushion I heard about at Creative Strands, but never got around to ordering.

Here's one last picture.



What happened to those legs?

  1. Which relaxoback did you get - the original or the deluxe?
    Cool pics. I love the huge rounded collars and everyone wore such dark stockings.

  9. Happy anniversary! You were married on my 20th birthday! I loved seeing the pictures. My nieces were just teasing me about seeing pictures of me, from that time period in 'mini-skirts'.
