Toni's Place

My Many Faces Through The Years

Aug 26

Hello, my name is Antoinette aka Toni, from Upstate NY.

I am making this page to number one, learn how to do one and second to share parts of my life with those I have corresponded with here and new people I meet along the way.

I am (GULP) 59 years old , married with a grown daughter. I am from Irish/Italian decent.

Along with my mom and dad I have 3 brothers and 1 sister. We have many neices, nephews, aunts, uncles and cousins.

I worked in the health field, taking care of newborns at a local hospital in neonatal care, before coming down with Multiple Sclerosis. That is not why I am here so I will just move on.

My husband Doug and I will be married 35 years this Oct. A long time.... but more remarkable is my parents have been married 64 years. Hard to believe in this day and age.

We have many interests. We both share the love of music & digital photography.I have recently started earring making and I love it. We have over 1000 record albums along with cassettes and cd's.

Doug also loves cooking and gardening. His garden is gorgeous. I have photos in the Home and Garden area of this page.

I also love shopping on ebay and doll collecting, writing and working with graphics and photographs.

In fact we have about 5 or so digital cameras, we take many photos and we take them daily.

Most of the photos we take are of Doug's flower garden and our cats.

On this page there will be mainly photos of Doug and I when we met got married and then had our daughter.

Big Hair

Home on the range....ye haw!

Myself and Christie at different times......The apple does NOT fall too far from the tree now, does it? :)

Permed Hair.....

This is our first date. My cousin was getting married, Doug was home on leave so I asked him to escort me. That was the start of us:)

This is a photo of Doug after we were married. It was taken about 1973. It's one of my favorite photos.

This was taken on our wedding day, just after the reception. We were 25 and kinda cute.

Opening Christmas gifts......what's with the flower in my hair? (we don't live in San Francisco)

..........NOW

Unfortunately, Dave passed away this past summer 2005. He fought the most courageous battle of his very meaningful life. All who knew him, loved him....all who loved him, miss him. God Bless You Dave.

I recently bougt a new picture frame for our wedding photo. I thought of adding the pearls and silk flower as a nice photographic touch. I think it looks nice. matches my decor too.

I was about 19 here...(sigh) to go back. Life was so simple then.

This is with Munchkin, the best pet ever. I miss her.

A nun and a soldier....what a combo. Doug was a soldier and I am a none of this and that type nun :)

We sure are a pair......

Doug and his twin brother Dave, then and.......

And Baby Makes 3

And Then Came Christie.....

Two years after we married, we were blessed with a Beautiful daughter. Here are photos of her through the years. She is the light of our lives, Always a smile, even when she doesn't feel like it. We Love You Christie.
