Friday Favorites - How we looked in 1976

This is in my favorites category because it clearly depicts a  brief moment in our family history, after the births of our 3 daughters, but just before the birth of--Surprise everybody!-- our 1 son.

Beards are still ok, especially if in Minnesota but large-lens eyeglasses -- well just wait a minute, they'll be back, count on it.

As for  plaid slacks, they're above my pay grade.

Vivi, I was going to say the same thing about you and Bananz. Just cross one of your eyes a little bit, and it's her crazy face all over again.

The Gentle Smith Matriarch

We met in 1966 when she was 18 and I was 22. We began dating soon afterward, and as I recall never disagreed on much. Our childhood homes were 3000 miles apart and we loved Minnesota and each other, so we got engaged in July 67, married in December and moved into a house with a teenage foster daughter. This was followed by , Daughter 1 the following September, Daughter 2 three years later, Daughter 3, a year and a half later, ..and eventually Son, 3 years later. There were also about 15 different short-term teen-foster boys in those years. The gentle matriarch has worked her whole life, hard. I went to college nights for a few years, she worked outside the home part-time while the kids were growing. She spent frugally, loved lavishly, and has always cared first and foremost about her family. She is a gentle giant who has brought love, fun, discipline, imagination, good food, and artistic, creative homemaking to our big family....and as I write this she's preparing for Easter Dinner...
