The Countdown continues

July 1, 2005- Exactly 33 years ago today I was a baby bride of 18. I would have locked my daughters in their room before I would let them get married so young! I can't complain though, because it did work out for me. Back on that hot July day in 1972 I would never have imagined that 33 years later we would be anticipating the birth of our grandson.

Steve and I revisited the scene of the "crime"...the Holiday Inn in Marlborough. We were feeling a bit nostalgic so went to the bar for a drink. Needless to say, not much looked the same, including us!

You can see by the photo the animal magnatism that Steve posessed back then which made it impossible for me to resist the opportunity to spend a life of wedded bliss by his side.

Of course, I was a pretty hot babe back in those days...check out those legs!! Put on a mini skirt, strap on some chunky heels, add a matching purse and we were off to Bermuda!!

So young and innocent... we have been truly blessed to have made so many wonderful memories together.

What is unfair, though, is that Steve got thin and I got fat!

Oh well, such is life!

Back to the important business.. after our drink at the Holiday Inn, we went for Chinese food in Westboro. We had the most delicious Chilean Sea Bass steamed with ginger and scallions, and a white rice with spinach.

There was a rehearsal dinner going on in the room and at the table next to us was a woman with her 10 month old son... Being the idiot I am, I start talking to the woman and baby (yes girls, I was talking to strangers again!) Add to the equation the Midori Marguerita I had just finished, and there I sat, tears rolling from my eyes in joyful anticipation of time to be spent with Perry. She thought it was sweet that I was so emotional, so she brought her mother over to our table who spoke of the thrills of grandmotherhood and the wonders of life having come full circle.

If only my phone would ring!! I'll get another photo of the little mother to be today...
