Have you contacted Hallmark about making this narrative into a movie? We older folks sometimes need inspiration.

Now that's a great idea, Carolyn. They're not sure who should play me.

Wow! 1995??? I was having my midlife crisis and had three kids!

I had two at the time. Two plus four makes six. Who knew?

True stories are often more revealing than invented ones. This is a very special story.

I like that word "team," Anne. That's how it feels.

Kinda reminds me of another Montana. Graduated from Notre Dame, came to California as a perfect match for the 49ers and won four Super Bowls. Happy Anniversary, Bob and Shelley.!

I wouldn't trade places, though.

Happy anniversary! I met Jim at a grogg party in Davis 48 years ago. We were the only two, who could spread pizza dough! BTW, I don’t even drink!

48 years ago? Were you both in kindergarten?

Lol Married 46 years on May 6th! I was working for Madera Co. as a planner. Hubby was in Sacramento working for the State, who provided funding for wastewater projects I wrote environmental impact reports for. 6 months after we married, I finally moved to Sacramento. I ended up working for Bruce West. The company he worked for was the engineering company hired by Madera County. He ended up hiring me to finish the project for Madera County. Would anyone believe this?
