‘it’s the color of my wedding dress!’
she says
and he always fires back
‘periwinkle?’
and there’s a wink built right in
and then she says ‘cornflower blue.’
and after 22 years it’s something
that never gets
old,
always new, this
laughter borrowed
over blue.

Your parents? Sweet.
Me and Hubbie. 😉 Both on our second marriage a little over 22 years ago, we got married in the church where we met, but dressed as though we were on the beach. I still wear my ($34, Cache) dress sometimes, for our anniversaries.
Photos? Sounds fun.
I’ve been trying to figure out photos. They are all from before digital, and I’m not all that tech savvy. ha.
Easiest way is to take a photo of the photo with a digital camera, then transfer it to your computer. Or you can scan them and do the same.
I scan an entire page of an old album, make as many duplicates of scan page as there are photos, then crop one photo down from each page. It’s usually necessary to play with the image a bit–sharpen, lighten or darken.
