Day 17: Kissing contest


You may remember Ruth and Raymond from an earlier post called Young Love. They're in their 80s, and they're newlyweds.

They celebrated Valentine's Day at a banquet at Sunrise Baptist Church, where Ruth regularly attends Sunday morning services. Here, they're competing in a kissing contest where the couple with the most lip marks within the time limit wins. After donning some bright red lipstick, Ruth gave Raymond 19 smack-a-roos.

They didn't win. The contest.

They've become very dear to me, and it was good to spend the evening together. I hadn't seen Ruth and Raymond in about two months. Hope to see them again tomorrow...

Raymond turns 83.

Great photo, I'm glad you're still keeping up with them after you did such a great story on them. He seems like he's still such a naughty boy and that they're so funny together.

I wouldn't describe Raymond as "naughty." I might use the word "mischievous." ;)

Thanks for feedback!
