FORTY-TWO

...How Time Flies

August 23, 1969 Donna and I said our vows at Highland Park Baptist Church in Austin. The reception was held at her parents home. What were we thinking?!!  The house was good sized, but the air conditioner wasn't designed to handle 60 guests when the temp was 95 and the humidity at 64%.  But it was fun, even so.

Later she changed into her travel ensemble, I changed into my formal bell-bottoms and double breasted blazer. We hopped into our 1967 VW Beetle, no air conditioning, and headed off to our honeymoon.

Love conquers all, we always say. That day it conquered the heat, humidity and sweat.  

Happy anniversary, my love. It's been a great 42 years.

Blessings,
Ken
