I think our order wasn’t quite this ambitious…
Today is the 46th anniversary of our first date, Patty and me… the day my own life changed altogether for the better. Thank you for that, O God!
I was the managing editor of The Bayshore Independent. She was the bookkeeper. On Dec. 26, 1976, we went to dinner at The Islanders Restaurant in Matawan (they advertised with us–and really, it was a great restaurant: Steve Wong really made it into something special)–followed by a movie (The Voyage of the Damned, bit of a downer)… and then lots and lots more dates. “Don’t you let this one get away!” my mother chode me. Well, I had no intention to.
The Bayshore Independent is gone, The Islanders is gone, most of the movie theaters are gone… but we’re still here. Praise the Lord.
Praise the Lord indeed! Happy First-Date Anniversary, Lee and Patty!
We’re going to watch a documentary (so they tell us) about how the Carthaginians got to America first.
Wow, 46 years ago. T Rex and his dinosaur buddies were probably still roaming around way back then.
I love to hear stories about how married couples met – thanks for sharing yours.
