When my mother’s niece heard of our elopement, she asked my Mother why we hadn’t first gotten engaged? With no effort to hide her disgust, she answered, “Because they didn't want to get engaged. They wanted to get married.”
“He who finds a true and faithful wife finds a good thing.”
That decision was 55 years ago today and there’s nothing more I can say to my mother about it. But this country boy can say to that little bright eyed city girl . . .
Thanks, FCF. I was convinced she was the one, but it took me most of four years to convince her I was. I had lots of competition. This was her college sophomore class picture. Sorry for the quality of it, but it's a picture of an old picture. It's my home page pic on my cell phone. I never get tired of seeing it.
It never fails to astound me that such a collection of oafs were able to attract and retain the class of women that have remained by our sides for the lifetimes we’ve enjoyed.
