How did your love story begin?

Everything I would say he would say "Well bless your heart." Being from the south that saying has many different meanings.. I had to try to figure out if he was making fun of me or really cared about what I said. Never figured it out but he grabbed my heart then and there.

What is your favorite memory you've shared as a couple?

There are lots but probably the first time we went to Yellowstone. We had a popup camper. We arrived on June 30th and it was snowing. It got really cold at night so there was a lot of cuddling to keep warm. Next day we went to the giftshop and paid $5.00 for a pair of gloves and $10 pair of socks. This was in 1975. But I didn’t care. Probably would have paid more.

What would you do with $20,000?

Pay some bills or do some more traveling.
