happy 40th anniversary
40 years!
that's longer than i've been alive!
what are they drinking here? bourbon? cranberry juice?
my dad's tuxedo is brown.
my mom is barely 21 years old.
this is what weddings looked like in 1972. patterns, accordions.
here's wishing the lovely couple 40 more years of wedded bliss!

don't drink the kool aid
this ad is from 1975.
"so do something sweet for yourself. save yourself some money. mix your sugar with our unsweetened kool-aid."
what kind of craptastic advice is this?

put kimmy back together!
the year was 1980 ish.
the family had 3 kids under 6 years old.
the family had some gerbils.
the gerbils were kept in a cage with a wheel in the spare bedroom.
they named one of the gerbils kimmy.
kimmy learned how to escape her cage and was found in another bedroom.
for the safety of kimmy, everybody agreed to make sure she stayed in her cage in the spare bedroom.
one of the boys was playing with her and she tried to run out the door.
the boy may or may not have looked like this.
the boy slammed the door shut to keep kimmy inside.
the door slammed shut on kimmy.
kimmy was split in half. there were two arms on each side of the separated animal.
the boy screamed at his mother for the first time
PUT KIMMY BACK TOGETHER!
the mother laughed.
the children got a cat.
the children named the cat princess mary.
princess mary lived for 20 years.

week at the beach
a week at the beach was awesome.
we took the dogs, and they were good boys.
pouncey had some trouble staying in control. he wanted to pounce after everything he saw. dogs are not allowed off-leash until november 15, so this was a challenge. nacho and eli had a ball.
we took some loooooong walks on the beach.
we ate like kings. the place had a kitchen and kevin made seafood feast after seafood feast. we had an awesome dinner at the fat hen.
we turned a gift bottle of grey goose into daily 'boat drinks' that improved the tone of the whole week. we played lots of pro-kadima.
we boogie boarded. scrabble. rummy. chillin.
celebrated 4 years of dating. all was well. all is well.
as fantastic as the beach is, there's no place like home.
