Today I decided to do THROWBACK THURSDAY.
The photo is of my husband's Mom and Dad.
It was taken in about 1935 ..... unfortunately , no date on the picture.
The place is Nicaragua.
Dave's Mom was there as a private duty nurse of a Downs Syndrome child.
Dave's Dad was an Army Engineer doing a survey to see whether a canal could
be done through Nicaragua.
The government decided to put the canal through Panama instead.
These two met at a church in Nicaragua, fell in love and were married down there.
In fact they were married 3 times,
Once before the Nicaraguan government, once before the American government
and once before the church congregation.
I would say they were married for good!
