Is it even possible that 32 years have passed since this picture was taken? An old friend sent it to me in a Christmas card; precious memory. This was 7 months before we got married. Here we are in the first blush of passionate love; I'd just returned from 2 weeks in Japan and John is a week or two away from a job on a tuna boat that would keep us separated for another 5 months.
Hey, if you've never had an afro you probably weren't around in the 70's. ha ha.

LOVE that picture of you and John-when I had an Afro someone told me it looked like "an explosion in a mattress factory"! Those were the days, my friend. Glad you and John are still together. Em
So much love seeping out of those smiles. Happy 32 years!

True bliss...a wonderful couple then, and now. Doesn't get better than that! As for the "fro", yep, I had one in 1976. Even though I have naturally curly, thick hair, it wasn't big & bad enough, so I got a tight perm and had a fro to end all fros! Enormous! Loved every frizzy second of it.
You wouldn't believe all the product available for afros these days. Email me and I'll hook you up with the good stuff when you get your next 'fro. ;o)
Oh my dear friend, how sweet the picture! I had the 80's fro and still shudder when I see photos from that time.
merry, merry times indeed.

Happy 32 Judy....your such a lovely couple!
I had that afro too but with flowerdresses. Those where the days........

Happy Sweet Beautiful, the two of you! 32 years!
awesome.
what a wonderful gift your friend gave you! LOVE!
That must have been hard, having John leave for work on a tuna boat.
Yes, had the afro, but in the 80's. Not that I wasn't old enough in the 70's, but I do everything late! (Ha Ha!) Your photo brings back memories. Thanks for sharing!
Oh yes! The smell of perm solutions are back there in my memories too. Those were the days! Happy 32 years!!! You look adorable!
Ah to be young and in love again~
♥Sharon
Precious memories!
How thoughtful of your friend to send it to you ;-)
I had that hairdo also LOL...perms perms perms
I love it. Nothing like a fro and bell bottoms to make my day complete.
One in love and thought. I think you even look alike in this photo. Congratulations on a long and loving life together my dear friend.
