Lucky Coinage

After spending a week in Kentucky with  Eddie recently  , it seems as though  a life alone  is no longer in the offing.

Seems I gots myself a man again, and a mighty good one to boot.

* a little En Vogue  tune comes to  mind right here*

I use to say life turns on a dime,especially right after my husband was murdered.

 While that still holds true  , this time  the dime  is lucky .

 I actually met Eddie  in 1980-81 , when we rode the same school bus to high school  in Germany .I graduated with his older sister.

We are military brats.

He's  3 years younger (  oh, I am soo doing a Demi/Ashton  right?!),  and I had a wee  crush on him  back in the day  for a few weeks  around Valentines Day.

We both went  to  a  school Valentines Day dance , did a little group disco &nb sp; and then when it was time to slow dance -- he didn't ask me.

I was crushed  and  went  off into a corner and cried.

He didn't know I fancied him and he was after all a freshman to my senior  status.

My friends asked me what was wrong and I spilled the beans.

They made derisive comments about my choice of guy due to the age difference.

My parents remember me coming home from this dance upset...

We reconnected  in late November of this year  through an alumni  message board  and then a few  emails .

In December, we took it to the phone lines.

Out of nowhere , my little crush  26 years ago  turned into  full blown love.

We just fit  together like hand- in -glove.

 On Valentines Day this year , he remedied the sitch.

We had several dances together in person .

 This time  lady luck  was much kinder to me.
