Happy Anniversary, Honey!

Yep, she said yes. Or, it was; " I do". Nineteen years ago. And, it is our Anniversary.

I still remember it like it was yesterday.

Weeks leading up to the main event we discussed vows, readings, who would stand where, you know, all the important stuff.

My father-in-law to be was the most fun. We would stand around at all the "required" social events and watch the "loot". I mean all of the thoughtful gifts that our friends, relatives, co-workers and neighbors gave us. We would chuckle about the stuff. Don't get me wrong. Jennifer married me for love, not money, so the gifts helped us to get started.

Anyway, the wedding day was very unique. First, it snowed in Huntsville, Alabama on that Saturday morning. Someone in the wedding party said that snow on the wedding day meant a fertile marriage. Oh! boy, if I understood what that snow indicated I would have followed my brother and been married in Hawaii. Kids, if you are reading this I wouldn't trade any of you in....

So, we are in the ceremony. We have reviewed everything in advance. As I am standing at the front of the church with this beautiful lady standing next to me the priest gets to the vows. I am now beginning the out of body and mind experience. The priest says, repeat after me. I heard the first six words, each and everyone of them. Then the realization that I, the groom, am suppose to be looking into my soon to betrothed eyes, when I realize that I am behind in the monologue. (So, flashing back to the rehearsal the night before, this isn't right! There was just I do! It is then I realize that my future Mother-in-law and spouse to be , had a change of plans! Hum, could this be a sign?) Okay, snap out of it. Repeat what he is saying! I had a big grin cause I was caught flat footed. But, I made it through the ceremony! Glad it I followed along. I've been trying to catch up with her ever since.

Today, I laugh about it. Nineteen years! WOW!

Happy Blogoversary to Me

Yep, a couple of days ago I celebrated by second anniversary as a blogger.


Can't believe it. This blog has survived two trips around the sun! Don't know that I have solved world hunger, done anything to reduce greenhouse gases or even righted any wrongs in the society. But, I'm still on occasion cranking out some text and sharing my views even if it is just me listening sometimes!

Being reflective when I started this process I didn't know what to expect. Had no idea what would happen when I decided to connect to the electronic world. All I can say is that I would have missed the experience of a lifetime.


I have met some great people in parts of the country and the world that I would not have usually had the opportunity to experience. And, it has been a learning process. Personally and technologically. The names of these folks alone tell you something about their take on the world. The Nap Warden, Wilson Six......Egel's Nest, Cause Mom Said So, A Free Man Down Under, Dad Gone Mad. Great people and great stories.

There has been laughter, tears, smiles, and frowns. Topics have ranged from sports, politics, stupid people tricks, blogs about my crew and updates about family and friends.


This has been lots of fun. Looking forward to more posts that cover topics from A to Z.


Happy Blogoversary to me!

Happy Anniversary - Patty and Terry

Today my Mother-in- law and Father-in-law are celebrating their 40th wedding anniversary. Wow! I would like to wish them a very happy anniversary.
On January 11, 1969 - Patty Dimick and Terry Amidon walked down the isle of St. Michael's Church in Brattleboro, Vermont to become Mr. and Mrs. Terry Amidon. They have been dancing together ever since.

If you would like to see an exciting tribute to the Amidon's follow the link to my wife's blog.
