I have lived a long life, and it has been filled with many wonderful events. There were others, fortunately not too many, which were not so wonderful. But, for here and now, I intend to talk about the nice and memorable things that have happened to me: My marriage, the birth of my three children, the birth of my two wonderful granddaughters, the marriages of my two daughters All of these events have helped shape my life, and have made it mostly, a very happy one. There are things I can look back at and say that I could have done differently, but that is twenty-twenty hindsight, and nothing in the past can be changed. Hopefully, I have learned from the mistakes and have become a better person for them. Maybe. Maybe not. But, I have tried, and that is all I can say about that. The following stories will reflect some of the highlights of my eighty-five years. I hope they will be meaningful to you.
