We've only just begun.......


The first day of our retirement adventure, Tuesday, January 1, 2013, was very relaxing. A leisurely morning eating breakfast out side our motor home enjoying Florida weather, watching two Oposssums (yes, Google says they are Opossums) have a little mating game in a large old oak tree. Nothing like Eggs Benedict and a little possum porn to start your next adventure!!!!! It was like “National Geographic" right in our front yard.

Speaking of the mating game, the first day of “our” lifetime journey together, back in 1969,  Peter played that same luring game!!! He didn't get me up a big old oak tree, but out onto the dance floor of David's Restaurant and Bar where he was the Chef/Manager. I was the receptionist at LaBonne Insurance Agency and Davids was my favorite lunch spot and watering hole. One evening while there with a friend,  I had dropped one of my earrings while dancing. He had picked it up, and the only way to get it back was to dance with him.......so once upon a time in November of 1969 our story began. The rest they say is just history!!!!

It was not a long courtship. Met in November, engaged in February and married in August. Oh poo poo on all of you who started counting to 9 on your fingers! Nope, just wanted to get started on what was to be a fascinating journey. Little did we know back then what an interesting, to say the least, life lay ahead of us!!!
