3. In the words of Robert Browning.....

"Grow old along with me, the best is yet to be..."

[CaliforniaPeggy]

4. My dear Rowdyboy...

Ah, those words are perfect for this picture, and for us...

This picture was taken by my dad over 40 years ago...

Thank you!

[nolabear]

9. My dear nolabear!

Oh, thanks!

Yeah, so much promise! I'd like to think we've done well with it too...

6. Great picture, Peggy

You were a fine looking young family. How are things going now days? I haven't been out to the west coast since I visited. I'm trying to stay close to home now days and I sure as hell don't want to run up to the northwest. :scared:

[CaliforniaPeggy]

10. My dear Tobin!

Hey, sweetie! Nice to see you tonight!

We're good, like always...

What's wrong with the northwest? Is it the weather?

I'm glad you can stay close to home! How's your young lady?

[Tobin S.]

13. Yes, the weather. Lots of snow up that way.

I spent the previous two days with my new girlfriend. We had a good time, but let me tell you, she wore me out. :D I got home earlier this afternoon and slept until just about a half hour ago. We are going to have dinner with her parents on Saturday.

7. What a cute young family!

Those years in the mid 1960s were good ones, weren't they?
(I peeked at an old post about birthdays, Sagittarius ones to be exact ;) that year I was 1/4 of my current # of years :hi:)

[CaliforniaPeggy]

11. My dear marzipanni...

Thanks for your kind words!

They were good years for us.

We're still having fun too!

17. What a great photo

And a nice looking family. But I am a bit jealous - you two have only gotten better looking over the years. So unfair!

Happy Thanksgiving weekend!

[CaliforniaPeggy]

25. My dear av8rdave!

Awww...thanks, sweetie!

I'm not so sure about this getting better looking stuff though! I have a LOT more wrinkles than I did way back then!

Happy Thanksgiving weekend to all of you too!

And you guys look to have so much promise.

[CaliforniaPeggy]

29. My dear siligut...

My dad, who took the picture, said it reminded him of classic paintings.

I hope we did fulfill our promise...

Thank you for your comments.

Almost let this one get away from me.

COOL photo -- but you don't look like a nurse.
.
.
.
You two look like you met on the job as scientists or NASA engineers.
.
.
.
Better yet (putting the two together)... ... ... ... as ROCKET scientists!!!

Thanks for sharing that.

[CaliforniaPeggy]

47. My dear MiddleFingerMom!

I didn't look like a nurse, because I wasn't one yet...

I was 23 years old, and a new wife and mom...

Thanks for the compliments, sweetie!

[UTUSN]

46. A truly lovely picture speaking happiness. & I hope my mention of you in the other thread

is seen as FOND good fun!1

[CaliforniaPeggy]

48. My dear UTUSN!

Not to worry, sweetie! I did see your remarks that way, of course...

I'm glad you like the picture...

It was a very long time ago, and we were so very young...

We had not yet been battered by life's storms.

Thanks for coming by!
