Hi ho, MMMLogerinos!

This day many longs ago in Las Vegas, I sailed down the central aisle of University United Methodist Church in matron of honor Lynn Piercy's wake to vow many good things with one Mr. N. Robert Haynes. I can't find the wedding pictures at this moment, but here is a photo of the DH and MMMM with a ROK soldier guarding as we stand very briefly in North Korea in the DMZ north of Seoul, Korea last month.

If our marriage has had a theme, it's been travel. We've moved house many times, living in foreign countries and many U.S. states. We've vacationed in five star hotels in Europe and South America, cruise ships to the Caribbean, Alaska, and the Mediterranean, starless bed and breakfasts, national park lodges, resorts, tents in the desert, camped from Kentucky to Washington in a fifteen foot travel trailer, and toured the western U.S. in a new motorhome. This year we've taken two fabulous cruises as well as our Christmas trip to Seoul to visit our son. Speaking of him, I remember when he came home from middle school one day and informed us that our family had nomadism, according to one of his teachers--geography or psychology or Gary Larsen's Far Side, maybe. Apparently, we convinced him that it was a good thing, for he shares our travel passion. He's lived overseas since leaving our Seattle home for college and now his work keeps him traveling.

The only wear and tear that our travelling together over the years has suffered is the engraved detail has worn off the DH's gold wedding band. We went to the jewelry store yesterday and selected a new wedding bling for him that ought to last another thirty years and then some.
