we always laugh about the "fat German boy" comment because as long as I was growing up my dad was slender but apparently he was quite heavy when my parents got married.
so here is a photo of them - when they were in their very early thirties- from in front of my grandfather's cottage on the Gulf of Mexico (more on that at for a later post I think)
and here is one from their wedding in 1951 - you can see my dad was quite a bit heavier- my mom always said it was the change from his mother's home cooking - who knows- my grandmother was a great cook but I think my dad liked being such a hunk married to a hot babe (of course they didn't think of themselves with those terms then...LOL)
