Congratulations to both of you. I hope you have a long and happy life together. Mine has also been a love story from the age of 14 when I was a mere schoolgirl (a boarder at that in a convent school!). He’s still the love of my life after almost 57 years of marriage. I wish you both a wonderfully happy life together. Congratulations and God bless. I look forward to reading many more ‘tongue in cheek’ and funny comments from you Neale.

57 years! Wonderful to hear. I wish you & your hubby many more wonderful years ahead of you both.

Wouldn't it be great if we could get more people to meet, because loneliness is one of our biggest killers

Maybe SDC should organise meet up lunches in each state. I agree loneliness is terrible.

I second that idea! Put a face to names.

 

[Veggiepatch]

I knew it would make for some great comments. I'm thinking this might actually be the start to something big.
I wonder who will be the next couple?

I hope everyone knows that little envelope above is how you can message each other along with the user name

Exactly @Suzanne rose! That's how Debra and myself got to know each other at first. Then it all just snowballed from there!

Now living in total bliss!

How long have I been saying how good it would be to have a post with members and their photo. That would be a good start.
You and I are the very few who have shown our true selves and now Debra

An update.

Last weekend marked the six month point on our journey. It has been smooth sailing all the way with Debra showing me the sights of south western Western Australia down to Albany, Denmark, Busselton and Bunbury. Such beautiful coastal geography to take in!

I love cooking for Debra and she loves what I cook. I haven't mucked up a single meal. Amazing!

We hardly spend a moment apart and have no signs of tiring of each other. Total Bliss!

I am really so happy and thrilled for both of you, but gee whizz there are times when he {veggiepatch} comes across as a grumpy of bugger.

Thanks @Marilynne. He can get grumpy at times (as I do too). He has strong views and not afraid to express them. All part of his charm. I wouldn’t ever want to change him.

I am very happy for both of you ,you sound like you compliment each other very well.
I do get the feeling that Vegie is a bit like a turtle , tough on the outside but soft and sweet on the inside.
