living room - mostly open floor plan

this corner of my mother's house is where my husband and i were married. recently my husband wrote words to a song about that day - and the band Eyelids wrote music and recorded it, placing it on their most recent album, The Accidental Falls. so now you are in the know - you can hear the song here: www.youtube.com/watch?v=uwe8ymXZCPs&ab_channel=Eyelids-Topic [Sorry - apparently it doesn't play in many countries. Should work in U.S, apparently not in the EU or England right now, sorry!]

[edit - just remembered that you can hear the song on spotify, that should be available in other countries: open.spotify.com/album/04dBQvXGhk7URknZGv7Krv?highlight=spotify:track:01oDZ2b2UM6wkidHx1nrIL ]

it is our ceremony! when we renew "vows" one day i told the singer, John Moen, that i want him to come sing the song live.

Ceremony

No vows - but who can keep a vow?
I said my line, My love for you
isn't written in the heavens,
and yet it's to
this act all of my days have led.
She said, I'm surrounded by what
I love, the old-time firs, the rain -
and then she cut

off, laughing? no; I saw her tear
her heart. In a moment, my hand
on her bare shoulder, she went on:
rain shimmering, and
your open arms. A whirl, a wedding,
and oh from that green night to this
I haven't crossed the bridge of dreams
without her kiss.

-Larry Beckett (yup, my husband)

the shadow envoloped the whole street. couldn't get the whole thing in with my phone camera, but thought a panorama showed the feel of the shadow pretty well.
i would make it as large as you can to enjoy it the best.

Morris Fechheimer's home in Portland, Oregon

Morris was my great grandfather. Morris moved to Portland from Cincinnati in the mid 1800s. I think that makes me a 3rd generation Oregonian.
