Judy's Photoblog
Church portrait...
Posted by Judy (Brooksville, Florida, United States) on 1 March 2009 in People & Portrait and Portfolio.
1981 was the year Susan moved from college to New York City's upper east side; we had some trips to visit her and got to see her at work at Bloomingdale's. David graduated from HS, went into the USN and Curt was relegated to the status of 'only child', which he did not like. ... (The blouse I'm wearing in this photo was another one of my sewing projects.)
Thank you so much for visiting my blog; your comments are greatly appreciated. I apologize for not getting to all of your posts. I will visit as time permits.

@Marion: Sewing was my passion before computers and now cameras! :D
Leena from Joensuu, Finland
I agree with other comments by my full heart, Judy!
You simply seems to be happy, we can see it from your face and it so good to see.
I remember too, when our two older left home and the youngest one was "the only child", I was all the time asking from her something and taking care about her until she said:" Mom, I am not suffering :)
Happy Sunday to both of you!

@Leena: Thank you, Leena, for your comment. Our youngest, however, was not "a happy camper" as they say.
He truly missed his brother and sister and was sad.
Betty from New Jersey, United States

Barbara from Florida, United States
Such a happy portrait. You are like the princess and Mike the Prince.
Most importantly I can read it in your eyes and smiles that inner happiness and strength the two of you have that made it to 50 years.
I like the neckline on your blouse. Well done, Judy.

@Barbara: I don't know about the "princess and prince" but we were/are certainly that for each other! :D
We've invested a lot in each other over the many years ... and pray each day for yet one more.
Thanks on the blouse!
Susan from Fort Lauderdale, FL, United States
Oh, to be young, happy, and in love.......

@Susan: You're so right ... "Oh, to be young" again! :D
@Lorraine: Well that makes me happy too, Lorraine!

I remember 1981 so well, serving in her Majesty's Royal Police force based in Hendon. My nightclub days, when life was carefree and dominated by my own selfish needs. Music was stillperformed by real musicians and people who could sing without being put through computers, those were the days!
Ah the memories..... Neat shot, Judy

@EYES WIDE SHUT: I'm having problems; all of my comments are coming up as 'read' and the links to reply isn't working. I've had to go to 'All comments' and reply from there ... is it me?
I can see that 1981 was a good year for you also! You're right, "Ah the memories...".

His little daughter's coming to visit in ten days.
Bookfool from Mississippi, United States
That's so cute! You guys have great smiles. Our portraits always looked a little pinched and I don't think we've even had one made since the 17-year-old was 2.

@Bookfool: Ohhhhh, that's not fun ... when you get more than a couple of people in the shot, it can be tricky! :D
Markela from Athens, Greece
