Musings today

 was musing about this blog.  It is for me to tell you of my feelings or what I thought happened in my life. Sometimes the memory isn't as great or someone else sees it differently. But  it is what it is. I was talking to honey today about our first date. As we walked back from church that night, I felt so comfortable with him as if I had know him forever. Hummmm.... we had small talk, like, when is your birthday, what are you majoring in,where do you live, etc...As he and I were walking and talking I slipped my hand in his....WHY!!! I don't know to this day why I did that except as I said, " was very comfortable with him, like an old friend" He was surprised he said and thought I was a little forward!!!! 
That is an old term you young folks!!! But he came back for a second, third and fourth date until we were old hands! We held hands again and again until later on in our courtship, like 6 or 7 months later , we got caught !As we crossed the street, honey reached out and took my arm then slid his hand to mine....oh did we ever get in  trouble!!! Dr.Chamber , the dean of Students was teaching a class and as he looked out the window , what did he see!!! Us holding hands and that was a NO NO at Trevecca...Guess who was called on the carpet and we were DORMED , which is you had to stay in your dorm except for classes and eating....until the punishment was over...can you believe that!!!! It didn't stop us, we still saw each other and held hands over and over but was careful as to who saw us!!!!!! lol Isn't that silly? Well, we made it to August of 1959 when we married....
Sounds foolish and sillyh but it was an important issue in those days. I remember when a film was shown, someone would cover the screen  with a card when hands were held and kissing as a mortal sin!!! We would laugh as students but it still was covered....We survived our first year and the second year was as married students. My parents always said I went to Trevecca to get my MRS degree. they were right.  Musing can be funny sometimes and silly.
Even today honey and I are always holding hands even in the middle of the night we will wake up and be holding hands...friends and lovers....love you babe!
Thank you grandpa for listening, I am sure you would have laughed and said "how silly" I love you J
