Happy 75th

This ↓ is m'lady, who is 75 years young on this day, which I hasten to add is also the Celtic New Year and the New Year date that Tolkien used in Lord of the Rings. (I think I have always mentioned this, ever since I learned of it, because I think it is so darn cool.)


I actually took this ↑ photo five years ago, but since it is in my blogger folder, it is the one that I shall use today. I am sure that I have posted it once before, but I believe that I re-edited it not too long ago, and that is why it has found its way back into my blogger folder.

Let's do a few retro photos too, shall we? This ↓ is her college grad photo that had a place on my desk at uni.


I think this ↓ was her first visit to my house for Sunday dinner after church. She had a the same hair style as above. We lived on a nursery where dad tended the greenhouses; he was pleased to show her around.



After that visit my mother reported that he really liked Sue.

  7. Birthday wishes for Sue...a milestone which seems less to be honored than the years where there's a "0" these days. A three quarter mark of a century should be more special I think! Your early photos are so lovely, as is the more recent one. Perhaps there will be a new addition to the portraits? Have a great year in many many ways!

  19. White gloves!!! Very spiffy. Those were the days. (Actually, I was glad when the hippies came in and clothes got more comfortable. Ridiculous undergarments...like girdles,etc. even for someone skinny like me just vanished.)
