God is SMART!

 Above., THAT DAY!
      Our 50th anniversary and she is still  beautiful


So for today:

I have enjoyed my sweetheart so much during this time of my work on the apartment.  We have taken some SWEET time over the second cup of coffee.   Then many days we have enjoyed an hour or so in the picnic area in the swing. I have told he at least a million times of the nights (after I lost my license and before the USMC) how I felt leaving her house at 129 Hawthorne st, after a date.

(Yes I lost my driver’s license after rolling my beautiful ’48 Chevy one night (Single car accident, stupid driving) after taking her, then taking Martha (Vondale’s date) home, and on the way to drop Vonnie off, from the double date).


Anyway, with no car, we would sit on her front porch and smooch, her kisses sent this 16 yr old kid to heaven.  I lived about ¾ mile from her, and I FLOATED  down the hill, up the hill, to a path across the RR tracks and a couple streets to my home. Her kisses put me in another world.

Funny, and for you young folks,  her kisses still send this old man to heaven.  After many years, probably 70, since the first kiss, her kisses are the BEST!!  Just thought I would let you Kids ( not even 70 yet), Know, that love can last.  LOL

PS: God has been very good to me. I am a sorry Christian, but HE gave me a girl HE knew I would need to keep me straight. Dumb boys, need a good God who cares.  LOL

A saying in my neck of the woods is so danged true:

She still yanks my chain!

I agree, God was smart to put the two of you together. Not many can say they've been married 70 years. Congratulations and many more !
