Honey

I just had to post again ....found out I like this! Honey said" you like to talk so you like to write!" Smarty pants!!! I have a pic of him when he graduated from high school...love that picture! I remember in 1958, September 17th or there about, standing in line in the cafeteria my roommate turned to me and said" you see that tall skinny boy?""  Yes I said..."he wants to date you". what magic words to me as I was really homesick at that point in time and needed someone to be a friend....As the story goes, Nancy, my roommate lived at home on the weekends as she lived close to the college. Went home with her for church on Sunday came back about 2 or so in the afternoon. As we were coming in to the dorm, she asked me if I thought that "boy" would be there waiting in the lobby" as I noticed from the time that he wanted to date me, I began to see him more and more around but he didn't try to talk to me except one day. I was going into the dorm and he was there at the door , held it closed tight and said to me " all  people from Florida are going to hell!" (he was a religious fanatic LOl ). Surprised that he could talk I turned to him and said "well I guess I will take you with me!" he laughed and that was it until that fateful sunday!
I walked into the lobby that afternoon and there he was!!!! Just like I figured...walked up to him and said" want to go for a ride?" "yes" and jumped up. We rode around the block with Nancy driving, me in the middle and "him" on the outside. When we got back to the dorm Nancy turned to me and said " where are you going to church?" And just like we planned....he turned to me and said"she is going with me tonight!!!!!"  our first date was to the College Church of the Nazarene! What a night. What a thrill....MY FIRST DATE EVER!!!!!
Now after 50 plus years, he still thrills me when he looks at me, makes me happy, and we have survived what others said "will never work in a hundred years!" In Gods plan and will, we are still married not saying always pleasant (check out my blogs!) but I will love him forever. Thank you Honey for asking me out to church even though I planned it!!!!Love you sweetheart.
Thanks grandpa for listening, love youJ
