Pictures of Nancy. The Love of My Life.

July  28, 2019 #3 Gentle reader, I start each chapter with links to the previous ones so that you may get caught up. Here they are in chronological order: Have You Met Your Soulmate? I Have. Let Me Show You Nancy.    As Our Relationship Progressed. Finding Balance and Trust. To avoid confusion, I start each chapter with pictures of Nancy over the years and tell you how our relationship progressed. Interspersed with pictures. Then, I change tack and talk about how I have learned about relationships and dating and things like that. OK? One thing Nancy and I had to do was gradually introduce our respective kids to each of us and to each other. The photo above was from a visit to a large outdoor playground in Maryland. Nancy was cautious as she should have been. Yes, I'd been a gentleman so far, but how much did we really know about each other? Another tree-hugger photo of her and one of my favorites. I had not yet learned about technical thing...

July 23, 2019 #2 Gentle reader, I have decided to use this format to pass on some of the wisdom about relationships that I have gained in my almost 63 years on this earth. Plus, I will continue to present photos of my favorite person in the whole world. My mother has been after me to write my memoirs. I feel that I don't have anything special to share. Maybe this is one way. I will always link the previous posting so that you may go back and start at the beginning: Have You Met Your Soulmate? I Have. Let Me Show You Nancy.   Another slightly out of focus image of her in a cute sundress. Her late mother's Ford Fairmont in the background. As I stated in the previous article, I had spent considerable time learning about myself and how to form and keep a happy relationship with another. A book I came across back then is titled: What Your Mother Couldn't Tell You and Your Father Didn't Know: Advanced Relationship Skills for Better Commun...

July 22, 2019 Post # 1 Gentle reader, We are all given free will. Many of us, especially those who belong to the Presbyterian Church, believe that our path in life is chosen for us. Presbyterians call it "predestination". When Nancy was born, I was eight and a half years old. I was more than 3000 miles away from Puerto Rico in 1965.  Being a normal boy, marriage and "soulmates" were concepts that never entered my mind. Cars and playing and an active imagination, fueled by reading lots of books, were what kept me busy. Getting back to predestination, God allows us to make our own choices in life. He will give us clues, usually someone else in our life will be trying to guide us. Or, as often has happened to me, a "small voice" will suggest I do something. If I follow the suggestion, I'm fine, if not, I'm screwed. It has happened too often to be a fluke or my imagination. I like to think it's a guardian Angel. Nancy...
