Joe just fixed Daisy’s hair…he put it in a pony tail off to one side. Now that took me back to my high school days! This inspired me to dig up some pictures of my 80’s days…those days when I ratted my hair to make it big. It’s highly disturbing that recently I had a perm and now when I look in the mirror, I see the same hair from high school, but it's now framing an old face. Here are Joe and I when we were dating. Don't we look like the happy couple? Total bliss emanates from our faces as we dream of our joyful future together. Our ecstatic facial expressions say "My gosh, you fill me with rapture!" We had a big 16 by 20 made of this one. We framed it and hung it on the wall of his parents' house. After we were married, my mother in law gave it back to us at the first opportunity. I guess our somber faces were depressing everyone. Looking at it now, I can't blame her. Back then, it was vogue to stare at a soft light with a blank look on your face. See the sneer on my lips? I've got that timeless "I'll make your life hell" look. Joe has an 80's hairdo going on as well. |

| At our wedding...definitely happier! I look at the wedding dress and wonder, What was I thinking? After the wedding, I made sure to have it cleaned and sealed so that my daughter could wear it someday. With that in mind, I just asked Linda Jo what she thought of the dress. "Too much lace!" she exclaimed. "Poofy sleeves! And that veil looks like it's from India...all those beads hanging down!" Then, seeming to realize her insensitivity, she tried to backtrack. "But it's really pretty!" |
