HAPPY BELATED BIRTHDAY MARY!!!!!!

We're getting ready for a major ice storm here in Oklahoma. They're saying we could get an inch to an inch and a half by the time it's over.

[Kathy in Alaska]

Cool...any idea if it will be covered live? Time? I'm sure it will be on Around the Services and Reloaded.

[Kathy in Alaska]

Warming up, MM...hope you are having a good day.

WHEW! What a DAY!

A great big THANK YOU to the troops for protecting us!

How did I meet my Love....

OK, I know I’m a bit later jumping in today, but here goes.
I met Mrs. GE on a blind date. I had a night class with a friend of hers – Betty.
The entire semester Betty kept trying to get Mrs. GE and me to go out with her and her husband. We could never get our schedules together. Finally she asked me to just call her. At the time neither of us was interested in a relationship at all. I called her and said something like this: “Betty wants us to go out. Do you want to just so she will shut up?” We talked about it for a bit and finally we decided to just go out and eat somewhere safe. If I wanted to take her home after that I would, or if she wanted to go home after that I would take her home. No pressure, no risk, no hard feelings either way. I suggested that she take her car and just meet me there, but she said no to that. We were rally just doing this to get her off our backs.”
Well we decided to go out this once. I made reservations at one of the finest places I could find in Gulfport, MS for that night. Well, when the night came, it was the tail end of a tropical storm, but we decided to go through with it anyway,
I met her at a crossroad out on the country (they lived in the boondocks), and followed her to her home. I met her, her Dad and her Mom all at the same time. (They were a bit concerned because I was 33 and she was 22). We sat and talked for a bit and left. It was storming so bad that we couldn't get into Gulfport, so we had to head north to Hattiesburg – about 40 miles away.
We had a great time. We ate at a local steak house and just talked and talked, then went by a couple house whe were friends of mine. I got her back home around two or so in the morning. Both her Mom and Dad were up so I went in and we all chatted until…must have been 6 or so in the morning when I finally went home.
That was 1988 – we married in 1990 – and the rest….as they say, is history.
