I knew when I saw Jim that I would marry him, 48 years ago. We’ve been through the best and worst of times and we still love sickness/health
You decide who wins $20,000 and appears in Variety magazine as America’s Favorite Couple
Newly discharged from the Army, disillusioned with college & rare snow covering the ground in Middle Georgia, a young man invited me to pack my Chevy Van and move to Florida with him. The Clock tavern in Orlando was our first stop. Mid afternoon at the Pinball machine, With black curls hanging to his shoulders i saw Jim. When he turned around i told myself, I’m gonna marry that man. 3 months later we moved in together. We were married about 5 months later on a Sunny day with light rain.
What is your favorite memory you've shared as a couple?Before we married my high school friend visited. One of Jim’s friends came over and we were going to play tennis. I put on my red Hot Pants and a halter top, I weighed 115 lbs and Jim said “Go Change!”. I looked in his eyes and told him “You’re not my Daddy and you’re not my Husband and you can’t tell me what to do!” That evening we were on our screened in porch of the garage apt. surrounded by beautiful plants making matching Sterling Silver wedding bands. Mine fit perfectly inside his.
What would you do with $20,000?i think it’s time to have a small RV camper, 2k would go to MVN India and the rest towards or purchase..Our children live 200 miles away . Amanda in Rome in the mountains and Jimmy in Kingsland near the Beach… the best of both worlds. Close enough to them and their families and still have our privacy. We also would like to travel some. I want to visit the light houses on the east coast and Jim wants to dig for Opels or Dinosaur fossils. Our Golden years in Full Color!
