Way way back in the days of yore, before the world had color, in a place 850 miles away, a young, innocent couple joined together in holy matrimony. After the nuptials, the couple headed north to the coast of Maine. Lobsters and clams and other delicacies were enjoyed by all. You guessed it, the Clan McKeever was created. Now, 35 years later, the original founders are heading North again, but now to Door County WI to re-create the original experience. No lobsters, no clams, but great shopping, and other delicacies! Long gone are the $10-15 motel rooms enjoyed by the graduate student and his new basket room bride in 1974. But then, he had to make do on his $3,800 per year research stipend.

What an attractive looking couple. Do I know them? Haha, just kidding.
Your trip sounds fun. I'm jealous of your time off from work and your lodging accommodations. Maybe you won't find lobster, but with any luck you'll get some Alaksan king crab leg -- they're in Lake Michigan, right?
Have a happy anniversary. If you see either Edmund or Fitzgerald, tell them I say hi.
PS -- Thanks to this picture, I've talked Jason into wearing a white tux for our wedding.
Happy Anniversary! I love this picture!!! :)
Yep, happy anniversary. Wow, 35 years and you guys didn't kill each other. Impressive. Enjoy your stay in Door County.
PS - If you ask me Dad looked a lot like Tim back then. Which means all Tim has to do is look at Dad now and know what he will look like 30 years from now.
Yeah, Chris, I thought the same thing. People used to say all the time that Tim looked just like Dad..so maybe there's something to it. HOWEVER, just to take a little wind out of your sails, Berta's mother always used to look at you and say how it was a shame you weren't a girl b/c you were the spitting image of me...SOO, let's string out the analogy. I guess all you have to do is look at me and know how YOU will look 30 years from now!! LOL
HAHA -- why have I never heard that before??
I wouldn't listen too closely to Berta.
Plus, Fran always liked me better than Tim. If she didn't have Fred & Fran whiff maybe I would have hooked up with her.
Well, if Fred and Fran whiff was the only thing deterring you from hooking up with Fran, I guess I'm at a loss to comment. Good Lord.
And I am not taking Berta's word for it... I heard the words come right out of her mother's mouth. Yep... you are the spitting image of your mother. HAHAHA.
Spitting image of good old mom... lovely!
How's Door County treating you guys?
Apparently the conversation goes south when I don't show up in time to defend myself. I don't exactly look like Dad. I'm sort of like Dad except with an ENORMOUS... nose.
