Considering how our paths crossed a year or so apart I'm pretty sure Rich and I were destined to be together. I'm glad your Mr. Lunch turned out to be your Mr. Right.

I got those envelopes of letters, too. He was my date #3. His letter stood out. He got "artistic" and made a several fold out card using really nice stationery and included this cute picture of himself standing next to his tool chest at work (major airline). On date 2, I told him he needed to pass "the Gretchen test". In other words, my schnauzer needed to approve of him. Apparently that pissed him off a bit. He came in and the rest is history. Gretchen became his girl and we were married 6 months later. That was 27 years ago. I loved reading about your story.

Finally, my friend punched me in the arm while we were hiking and said "ask him out." then she walked up to him and punched him in the arm and said, "ask *her* out." So I did, and we kissed in Penn Station in NYC at midnight. Ta-da! We'll be married 8 years in June.merryfhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16313506256926882285noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2799276623638360369.post-13352964541760097392018-01-22T17:49:27.149-05:002018-01-22T17:49:27.149-05:00Oh, how fun!
