There are no Guarantees

Even if there were guarantees in life, God has given each one of us free wills.  On any given day, our will can take us to a good place or one that is not so good.

When Dennis and I first met over a cup of coffee at DeToy’s Family restaurant, neither of one of us had any awareness of the other.  Both of us living in the same small community and both of us having a child in the same grade at the public school and having attended the graduation of our children.

Our life is full of smiles each and every day mixed with a fair amount of hugs for each other when a memory slides down our cheeks.

Here Dennis and I are after celebrating a 20th wedding anniversary in 2015, which both of us had totally forgotten to celebrate if not for my brother and sister-in-law’s greeting card that came in the mail.  We can attest to the fact that time flies when you are having fun, or experiencing life to the fullest each and every day.  As often happens, this noon after having a light lunch of toast, we reminisced over events, family and what may lay ahead.  With us having seven children in a blended family and now having six great grandchildren from Dennis’ grandchildren, there is enough material for many, many luncheons.

There are no guarantees, but Dennis and I feel we have hit the jackpot right here on Stauffer Avenue.
