spin the bottle
our first kiss
you asked my mom if you could take me out
at the halloween party you crashed
with my cousin and some friends
you asked if I wanted to walk out to the barn
and that’s just what you got..a walk to the barn
and a kiss or two or even three

concert tickets
caught in the storm
concert got canceled
makin love in the back of your pick up truck
under that plastic tarp
with my cousin crashed in the cab.

skinny dippin
workin carnie barkin at the marks

how we used to fight
but we'd make up just as hard
and just as long

the day our daughter was born

our anniversaries
you call them our honeymoon

when our daughter
yanked out her 3 front teeth on a rope swing
imitating the girl at the circus

when our first granddaughter was born
and we held her for the first time
then our second granddaughter
6 weeks premie, and soo tiny
we didn't get to hold her till she was one month old

a lifetime
we have shared half already
and filled it with memories
we have the other half yet to share
and memories to fill it

Words are my medicine.
Read and live and love and heal!

Those are some precious memories. I wish you many more honeymoons. Do you still go to concerts in the rain?

You know I envy those words, imagine the memories you must have that you haven't even written about, so there is food for thought!  And a poem right?  I enjoyed a walk down 50 years with you, but hope to hear more sometime.

The pursuit of truth and beauty is a sphere of activity in which we are permitted to remain children all our lives.
