I met this guy on Labor Day Weekend in 1991 when I went to the hardware store to buy a bolt for my lawnmower, and he was the guy who waited on me that day.
I have told this story before, about how I didn’t even know his name when I left the store, so I called and asked what his name was, and if he was married, and gave him my phone number and told him if he was interested in going out to dinner to give me a call.
Our first date was a trip to Sweetwater Creek State Park, about three miles from my house, for a walk down to the old mill. Our wedding anniversary is Saturday, July 18. We will be married 17 years. What a guy!
Nice little love story and HAPPY ANNIVERSARY Saturday!!
What a lovely story. Happy Anniversary for this Saturday.
I guess it pays to be bold sometimes! Happy Anniversary!!
Thanks for playing this week, Karen. Have a good week, too.
🙂 Happy Anniversary. Love you!
It was ment to be. And he's certainly a keeeper. Had fun last night hanging out. You two are about as perfect a match as I see around me. Enjoy celebrating your anniversary in Flag.
Loved this account of how you met. The Old Salt and I are always surprising folks with our story as well.
People just assume we are that old married couple. In reality we met on a singles website in 2006 and married 3 months later.
The story of your travels is inspiring. We have talked of chucking everything for an RV. After thirty years in the navy the Old Salt is nothing but a vagabond with a gypsy sprit.
Until we met I had not been farther west then Kansas City. We visited the Grand Canyon on our honeymoon and I AM on that is afraid of heights. The photos have been gripping onto a tree in every shot while hubby has his toes off the rim.
We have spent an enjoyable time reading here and then jumping to your friends blog.
Thanks for the visit. It lead us to your site and we will both be back again.
Happy Anniversary and may you have many more. I love the story of how you met, I hadn't heard it before.
He has kind gentle eyes.. is that what did it for you (lol).
What a bold thing to do. You must have really connected.
Happy Anniversary, as you celebrate we will also celebrate. Our 45th is July 18. Have a great weekend.
Happy Anniversary. Cool story.

Happy Anniversary!
What a lovely chance meeting. Happy Anniversary. Enjoy the day and the rest of the days of your life together.
I LOVED the story!! We'll be celebrating 18 years on the 20th. Congrats on yours!!
