A Seventies Moment in Time
You never know when or where a scene from your past might suddenly surface. My cousin Darren scanned this ancient slide and posted it on Facebook. It’s me and W, my bearded biologist husband, married for about a year, living in Dryden, Ontario, probably taken at my Aunt Marguerite’s (Darrens grandma’s) house. She was so incredibly good to us when we lived there in the early 1970’s. We were both working, but young and stupid with our money. Thank God she liked to invite us over occasionally and feed us.
Sorry I can’t remember why we were in a hallway, posing in front of the thermostat, and I have no idea what that silvery thing is on the wall behind us. W is wearing his Ontario Ministry of Natural Resources uniform, jacket in hand. I’m just standing around looking happy. I think maybe I did a lot of that in those days.
