In my mind, it was one of those typical '70s kinds of prints. I guess I just had it placed in the wrong time frame. It was weird seeing it for the first time in the context of that wedding photo!Jacqi Stevenshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03471698670217119444noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5034998384799920884.post-33699470861962169342013-01-07T14:30:45.776-08:002013-01-07T14:30:45.776-08:00What a great bunch of old photos..so sweet that sh...What a great bunch of old photos..so sweet that she never remarried.

I'm often sent onto Mr. Toad's Wild Ride imagining those other details I couldn't possibly know such as how they laughed, how they walked, whether they were irritable before their morning coffee.
