February 21,2008

A milestone in two ways today. I was brave enough to start this blog. My dear friend Margaret dared me. I am not a great writer but I will try. It is also my 28th wedding anniversary. We actually met 29 years ago today. I am thrilled it is snowing tonight. My husband and I met at the tail end of a blizzard 29 years ago today. We had each been snowbound for three days. We normally took a bus to our jobs downtown. We had heard that the buses were running about a mile down the road. So we took off in the snow for a long trip to downtown Baltimore. Well I never did pick up a bus, but I did meet a husband walking eight miles to work that day. My husband took my number. He lost the note but went through the phone book until he found my unusual last name and called me for our first date later that night. Seven weeks later we were engaged, and married exactly a year later. So let it snow, let it snow, let it snow.
