It's The Anniversary of Our Elopement!

I know what your thinking and you
would be right.
The photo is of very poor quality,
but after all
our elopement
happened many many years ago.
-
Oh, I can't fool anyone....
That's not us in the photo,
but we really did elope and have
been married long enough to have
nine grandchildren.
-
I was a child bride, you might say,
having just graduated high school.
and the mister had
finished his tour of duty in
the United States Navy.
-
Love was in the air
the summer we met.
It was June
and we married August 31.
-
To celebrate.....
We'll dine at the
Columbia Restaurant
on Sand Key beach.
A tradition for us now,
and there
the ambiance is amazing.....
We'll have candlelight and
sweet reminiscing conversation
of how God has so richly blessed us through the years.
-
"Oh, we ain't got a barrel of money,
maybe were ragged and funny,
but we'll travel along
singing a song
side by side."
-
Always, and forever, lovin' that man of mine....Dee Dee
