The Blind Date

February 16, 2006:

Andy and I met on a blind date two days after Valentines Day in 2006.

We decided to meet at a restaurant in Winston-Salem. we parked next to each other in the parking lot and, stepping out of his car, a tall, lean man said with a big grin, Well, hi Honey!"

We enjoyed a comfortable hour and a half talking and laughing, just getting to know one another over a nice Italian meal. After lunch he walked me to my car and said "Just a minute, I have something for you." He grabbed something out of his car and handed me the biggest box of candy I had ever seen. It was five pounds of chocolates.

"I thanked him and said "Would you like a piece of candy?"

Andy just grinned and said, "I'd rather have a kiss!"

Well, he got a kiss, a chocolate truffle and, three months later, he got me. We were married on May 31st, just 3 months after we met. We decided that when you are over age 60, you can't wait too long- just go for it.

Actually, he had me from "Well, hi Honey!"
