| Wedding Reception, Forest Park, Ohio 1986 Lucky me! On this day, a quarter century ago, I married my one and only love. She is the soul who makes me whole, and brings out the best of my being. To me, we make a tuneful tandem, a strumming lute and melodious voice blending together as one. We spent our honeymoon in the Great Smoky Mountains National Park, hiking, taking pictures, eating pancakes and pizza, taking pictures, etc. |

ReplyDeleteI love the 'Smoking Ridges' photo, such a classic Blue Ridge Mnts site! I've never hiked North Carolina, but I'm going to have to put that in my To Do list.
It's also lovely to see photos of Charleston again, I lived there on Daniel Island for years and I want to go back so bad! A couple more years and I'll be there again :), thank you for sharing your photos with us.
