Dor and Bill Wed – Father not happy in background
Always on a search for the perfect blog subject, it sometimes occurs to me that little life experiences can also be exciting.
Like how about the excruciating tension on June 7th at our house here in rural Virginia? It was the Washington Capitals playoff ice hockey game for the Stanley Cup! And they won! Our family have been avid ice hockey fans for 44 years; ever since they began. And they never won until now! You can’t imagine the excitement. Bill actually went to Washington, DC for the parade and met our son there! And they are still talking about it!
I did not go to the parade but almost as an afterthought, I noticed BigFoot is not so big anymore and I am walking a little more gracefully!
It has been close to three years now with a knee-high boot, a lot of staggering, a cane, crutches, and a scooter, but the real bad time began in November 2017 with frightening swelling and pain. There is light ahead! Yeah!
A sojourn to Roanoke, Virginia was great fun! A friend had to visit the Social Security Office (not so much fun). But idle chatter made the time go by. Then lunch at the Wildflower Cafe, and exploring a discount store called Tuesday Morning (even though it was a Monday).
Happy Days!
And to top things off, Bill came home with a beautiful bouquet of flowers for our 59th Anniversary! Even I find this difficult to believe…. I mean not the flowers but the length of time.
Well, it does seem like we are a good match even though my Dad predicted we would be divorced in a year. Next year will be 60! Maybe we should throw a party?
