True Love: A Retro Photo

true love

This is my husband’s paternal grandmother and grandfather. They were married at fourteen (!!) and nineteen so this is sometime after that. Around 1951.

His grandmother died in 1988, she was only 52. She was an amazing woman that graduated from college the same year as her college-aged son, continued to get her Masters degree and was an ordained minister. I never met her but have only heard loving and awesome stories about her.

This is a precious picture of their love and the beginning of their family.

    I have a similar one of my grandparents circa 1940. I always thought it was a little bit scandalous, but oh the romance!

    It does sound so romantic! Love pictures like these where love is so obvious.
    (BTW, did you see you were right after me in the list over at 5minutesformom?! Thought that was a neat coincidence.)

    I truly like the layout of your site. I value the excellence of the information. You have done a excellent job. Thank you very much

    The Zune concentrates on being a Portable Media Player. Not a web browser. Not a game machine. Maybe in the future it’ll do even better in those areas, but for now it’s a fantastic way to organize and listen to your music and videos, and is without peer in that regard. The iPod’s strengths are its web browsing and apps. If those sound more compelling, perhaps it is your best choice.
