Below is my Prince Charming way back when, and following are three pictures of yours truly, and there is no wedding attire in sight, because we eloped, and have never regretted it.
Below is an eerie scene from Ecola State Park's Indian Beach.
There I am on the beach at Gearhart.
That is the path to the beach.
Of course the weather was sunny one moment and dark and foggy the next as one can see in the two shots of trees.
But my favorite part of the excursion was in touring the incredibly beautiful, Queen Anne, Flavel House Mansion in Astoria. This gorgeous home was slated to be torn down for a parking lot way, way back long ago, but the angelic historic society members saved it! I am so happy to have seen it. There are 11,600 square feet to this beauty.
That is not a ghost. It is I walking up the stairs to the second floor.
Again, not a ghost, but I, taking my very own picture in that mirror.
Hello! What's this? Yes, it is again I, taking a picture of myself in another mirror!

Congratulations on achieving 42 years with your sweetheart! That house is amazing and I hope I can tour it someday, as I love old houses. I was just telling my cousin about you yesterday and how sweet you were to show me (and my DIL and GD) your beautiful home and your dolls! We had just walked by an old home and the owner was outside and told us it was built in 1873. BTW, we celebrated our 48th anniversary last month.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful pictures Christine and a very heartfelt Happy Anniversary to you both and many many more!

ReplyDeleteThe two of you are make such a handsome couple, both then and now.

What a splendid way so spend your day together. The mansion is remarkable...I gasped when you said it could have been destroyed for a parking lot years ago...for shame!
The bathtub alone did if for me! I could spend hours soaking it that. :) Lol! Thanks for sharing your day with us.
(ps. love the haircut!)

ReplyDeleteChristine, these pictures are amazing! I LOVE to hear about old houses that have been saved...so many have not:( But I have to say that my favorite pictures are the ones of you and your hubby on your wedding day-so young and full of hope!
