In The Rose Garden

announcementForty Years ago today, at 4:00 I was in The Rose Garden. Perhaps not The Presidential Rose Garden at The White House; though we do have a connection...but in The Park of Roses. The weather was beautiful the day I became a June Bride. A simple out door wedding, with a few close friends and family.

Mom and IIn a wedding dress My Mother made of white dotted Swiss. Mom and I just prior to the ceremony. My flowers also simple, white carnations, blue bachelor buttons, and white baby's breathe. Mom wore purple as did my sister-in-law, Jan (my Matron of Honor).

Man and WifeSister-in-law, Jan on the left, Dave Koehler Best Man on the right. Ernie wore a suit and Dave wore a nice jacket and slacks. Mom made Jan's dress which like mine was Dotted Swiss. She also decorated the two hats.

Making our way to the table for refreshments.
us with our bikesA close up of our bikes, our wedding present to each other. We went for a bike ride that day before it was time to get showered and ready for the ceremony. By the way, we still have those bikes hanging in the garage, though it's been a good number of years since we've ridden them.

newspaper articleThe newspaper announcement. As you can see the pictures are old, and faded. I took photo's of the photo's. Haven't tried to see if I can remove them from these old style sticky photo albums. Seemed like a great idea at the time, this style album.... however...some of the pages aren't in good shape, unsure if I'll rip the photo's when I try to remove them.
Me in my wedding dressThis shows the colors a bit better, as this photo was scanned long ago.

**The White House Connection...June 17th, 1972 the date we got married is also the date of The Watergate Break-in.

YOP POST...not much of a change, but continuing to make progress with my Feather and Fan, still concerned about the amount of yarn I have and the size the ghan will end up...making yet another change. Think this is the 3rd change.
This shows the 2nd plan, where I was going to alternate between the dark gray and the tan in-between 6 variegated yarns. Not a very good picture, but if you click to enlarge you can see the colors better. Since this picture, I've completed the dark grey you see in a ball, and am almost done with the next variegated...the tan next to it...doesn't look right to me. Exploring some options.

Exercise Front...walked 13,540 steps today according to my pedometer. Put it on just before heading to work, so it's actually a bit more with whatever I did here at the house before going to work. Pedometer says that's 5.134 miles. Tomorrow should be about the same, perhaps a bit less according to my work schedule.

SuperPoints Saturday for Sandy!

Have you noticed this badge in the right sidebar? It's an awesome badge. If you click on it, you too can join. Joining is easy, it's quick and it's rewarding. Sooooooooo, no reason not to do it. UNLESS

Seriously folks, you can do so much. You can load up on great coupons which will save you money when you shop. You can play games and earn points, you can spin the SuperLucky Wheel everyday and earn points, you can fill out important surveys about products and services and earn points, you can watch video's and earn points.

You can shop with your points...again saving money. How? You're buying things with your points that you would otherwise spend money on. You're buying from the ease of your computer chair and saving money by not using your car and gas, plus you're saving yourself time, and energy. My friend Marie Anne (recently made over $200.00 and that's what encouraged me to sign up). So now, I'm encouraging you to sign up. It's quick and easy, and you can have while saving and making money!!! That's what I call a win win situation.
