the photos

and here i am, under the wide open sky at Costa Trailer Court. MY HOME.
and there's the corner of a trailer now.
am i happy? i am. here's
the
main reason i wound up here. and reason # 2
was these guys.
and let's not forget Cindi puppy,
the
dachshund.
a charming dog,
this is me with my pal Suzy Morehead. which is how i found the place to begin with.
however, this is not entirely a story of 'happily ever after', as
you know if you've read the relevant memoir chapters. so here
are the photo highlights.
let's start with happy days. the bride and groom . . . .
in Chicago here.
they look happy, right. there's more . . . .
still in Chicago, and . . . . at her mother's, pre -
foreclosure . . .
and, 
at my studio in Ridgefield Pk., and . . .
at an unidentified location, and . . . . .
on here wedding day, and with a home off her own in a trailer park . . .
she should have been happy, right? she looks happy here. in her own room,
with the baby boy and her stuffed animals . . . 
upon the marriage bed . . . i was HAPPY. little Walter was HAPPY TOO. 
he had his own room!!

he had a CANOE!
well - i made him a toy canoe. ;)) 
we played gopher golf. we played with heavy equipment
i was
HAPPY!! the dog was happy.
even my mean old Dad
was happy.
i had found a woman who i hoped would be my LAST sailer.

it should have lasted FOREVER - but it didn't.
