After hanging a seasonly appropriate wreath on the Barn Mahal’s door, I wandered inside.
.
.
Which is where I found my husband knee deep in nostalgia and flipping through his high school yearbook.
.
.
First we smiled at the graduation photo.
The hair. The prominent ears. The innocence of youth.
But then…
Then he showed me something I will never be able to erase from my memory.
.

My husband… was a … gymnast?
.
.
And not just any gymnast. No.
He was a covered from head to toe in silver paint gymnast.
What. The….
What????
He can’t remember exactly why they struck that pose…. But that’s him, crouching on the lower right.
.
.
And I’m afraid the image is burned onto my retinas and into my frontal lobe.
.

River's world..... 
So when’s your silver anniversary?

I hope he/they won a silver medal. Too bad they didn’t wear gold paint — they might have won a gold medal.

Sometimes I don’t recognize myself. But I really didn’t recognize my (silver!) husband.
