Yes, August 2, 1969 was our wedding day in North Bend, Oregon. Father-in-law had to drag me out of bed from a bachelor night out hang over. Even got pulled over on the way home by the local constabulary, drunk as a skunk. After my flimsy excuse of getting married in the next few hours , rather than throw the book at me he decided to escort me home. Thank you. A different time for sure.
Older and wiser now, I think. Admiral and I still get along nicely as long as I use yes dear frequently. A wonderful woman, mother of our four boys, made for each other. How the twist and turns in our lives brought us together, I do not know, other than destiny.
A blind date, the phone number that was given to me by her girl friend, I almost did not call. She, burned by other blind dates from the same girl friend, almost said no when I did finally call. And our first date was with her and her mother to the local football game. But, when she opened the door at her mother's home to greet me, well, all I can say is magic.
Alas, the rest they say is history. So much to be thankful for. A full life of love and happiness. My partner, my best friend, my lover. Yes, we have had our disagreements about this or that. But in the end, we're together forever.
Tomorrow night will be dinner out at a local fine dining establishment on Silver Lake, Washington for just the two of us. Looking forward to it.
Later, another story about how I proposed to my wife. A special event neither of us will ever forget.
