Hawaiian afternoon...

Posted by Judy (Brooksville, Florida, United States) on 22 March 2009 in People & Portrait and Portfolio.

I laugh at this photo when I see how absolutely starry-eyed we look. Well, I guess the photo is proof!

(Please excuse the grainy old photo.)

PS: I was totally overwhelmed by our ten-year-old beauty, Eleftheria, who dedicated today's posting to me.

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.

A picture of happiness, and the camera doesn't lie ;)

@observing: Thank you, Mike ... you're right, it doesn't lie and it does remind us of what was ... and thankfully still is!

Viewfinder from Bradenton, FL, United States

Wasn't 1984 just yesterday? What a great looking couple you two are! Little known VF fact about 1984 - it was the year I enrolled in seminary.

23 Mar 2009 12:34am

@Viewfinder: As I tell our pastor, I could *almost* be his (and your) mother! Some DO have children at age 15! <grin>

PS: We saw John after service today and took him flowers ... he's doing well and wants to begin part-time days tomorrow. I pray he isn't jumping in too quickly. I told Marie if he comes home with bruises it will be because I beat him to get him out of the office! *smile*

Fliss from Melbourne Beach, United States

What a gorgeous couple... :)
Sorry it has been a while since getting back to you... life has been crazy...
Take care...

23 Mar 2009 12:37am

@Fliss: Thanks, Fliss ... don't apologize; you're been away!

Barbara from Florida, United States

This is a fantastic image of you and Mike. I see an exceptional pair with such happiness in their eyes. It is a cherished memory and wonderful that you have documented it.
I know this day must have been a tough one. Blessings to you and Mike.

23 Mar 2009 1:26am

@Barbara: Thank you, Barb. As for today, the anniversary of the life-changing call came at 9 pm tonight.
We now begin a new year and in this pre-Easter season, we can only lean on HOPE!

EYES WIDE SHUT from The library of my soul, United Kingdom

A lovely image. These are the photographs which make us smile as we thumb through our collections and cherish the memories, transported straight back to the moment and location that the photographs were taken. Priceless, Judy. I remember 1984 for so many reasons.......

23 Mar 2009 4:38am

@EYES WIDE SHUT: You are so right ... and I thank God that I've taken and collected as many photos as I have over the years. When the memory fades, the pictures bring the time period right back to life.

Magda from Vancouver, Canada

Another great shot!
