Until this morning I didn’t remember much about Sunday, December 10, 1978. I probably wrote about it in my journal — almost certainly — but I’m not sure where that journal is.

Among the many many papers and other memorabilia I found in boxes from my mom’s house was a flier from Leeds Playhouse about Luis Buñuel’s film, That Obscure Object of Desire. I was staying with Jeremy’s family near Leeds, England before heading to London to do some student teaching and Jeremy had a part-time job at Leeds Playhouse.

I’d not seen too many foreign films, and none as unusual as this one. It stayed with me for years and I know I shared it with at least one other person.

I wonder what I’d think of it now.

And — all this time I thought he had an R in his name. I was calling him Brunuel.

Okay, I can throw this flier away.

Mother’s Day Poem by Anonymous

I found this in an old greeting card box that also contained pictures and memorabilia from my Grandma Green. I imagine it was from one of her children. Perhaps my mom.

Happy Mother’s Day

Tell if it's true if you
Love me or you. 
Now if it's true what I heard
If you are now to be 
The nicest Mother in
The whole wide world

Dean and I got married at a small church outside Elgin. Then we had a picnic reception in my parents’ back yard. Here are some of the preparations. This must have been the day before the wedding.
