52 AND COUNTING

 You may have thought from the title of this post that I was going to show you a card trick.

52 being the number of cards in a deck of playing cards.

But no, it's something else entirely.

It's the number of years that I have known the lady who stands by my side.

Exactly 52 years ago today, in Indianapolis, Indiana, I met a beautiful young lady known as Judy.




I fell instantly in love.

And 89 days later we were married, beginning a long and adventurous life together.

Over the years she has morphed into many things.


Nature lover


Barefoot beach visitor


Mexican sailboat passenger


Tree hugger


Wine lover


Art appreciator


Always a friend to cats


World Traveler with some lout in Monaco in '85


Amused by Beautiful Bruno in a tavern in Innsbruck, Austria


Stunning a Christmas party in Guadalajara, Mexico


There are many, many more images and memories I could share.

Let me just say that it's been a wild and wonderful ride.

A great deck of cards, one might say.
