Belated Anniversary Wishes

Mr. Irene's Parents yesterday celebrated their fifty-fifth wedding anniversary. I had other things swirling through my head, and I didn't even remember the date until Mr. Irene reported that he had congratulated his folks.

Marquette Park, Chicago, Illinois, January 11, 1958. Martha, the older sister of Mr. Irene's Mom, is the bridesmaid on the left. Had I gotten married in 1958, I would have chosen those dresses for my attendants. Beige is my favorite color.
