Saturday Morning Ramblings

Here I sit on a semi-quiet Saturday Morning, Kiwi and Peanut have been up all night practicing the "If You Don't Know Me By Now" song that mine and Michelle's Wedding Dance, I think they have got their two-part harmony going with Kiwi taking the lead and Peanut doing the melody. They want to surprise her when she wakes up. They said it is Valentine's Day and they want to surprise their Mommy. 

It is Valentine's Day, which means that it is a special day for my Valentine and love of my life. I am so lucky for this wonderful woman to have came back into my life. 

Anyone ever hear the story of how Michelle and I first met? I was driving a route truck for Mister Bees years ago, and I was trying to drum up some new business and went to Patty's Valley Mart to see if I could enlist where I once worked at as a new customer. Michelle was the manager of the store and caught my eye. In a trip that should have taken me 10-15 minutes to set up, I think it took me a couple of hours to actually set the store up, all because of this really attractive manager Patty had working for her. Little did I know it was glimpse at my future. 

Michelle was married at the time and I was just getting ready to start college. Pan ahead a few years, I'm out of college, Michelle's first husband had passed away leaving her a widow and the window of opportunity presented itself once again with a chance encounter at WalMart. That was the year we did Christmas at Klaer Lodge and I had invited Michelle to come and spend Christmas with us. She stood me up, but that's another story..lol

Happy Valentines Day to my lovely wife Michelle and to all the happy couples out there. 

Make it special.
