Happy Anniversary

It was November 27, 1995 and I was staring in the mirror wondering if I had finally lost my mind.   My marriage of 16 years had ended in divorce a year earlier.   And that day, at the age of 42 I was going on a blind date for the first time in my life.    My friend Tom, had arranged for me to have lunch with a friend of his, in return for introducing Tom to his now wife Lorna.

The only way I would go on a blind date with Tom’s friend was if Tom and Lorna joined us.   I joined Tom, Lorna and his old buddy Carl for lunch at Don CHerry’s Grapevine restaurant.  And the rest as they say is history.

Carl and I married 8 years later on September 6, 2003.   To celebrate our 7th anniversary, my DH and I went for a drive in the country, stopped for an ice cream, came home and had a nap.    The perfect way to celebrate the day.
