| October 1953, At Troy State College |
He was in the army stationed at Fort Rucker, AL and I was a sophomore at Troy State College, Troy, AL.
I met Jim on a blind date in July that summer when he came to the college with a friend, who was dating one of my friends. Three months later we got married. And we are still married 58 years later!
How did we celebrate our anniversary today? By staying home and relaxing after a hectic weekend of reunions (59th high school class reunion on Friday, Grimes reunion on Saturday, and a church picnic on Sunday afternoon at Brunson Farm.
We had turnip greens from our fall garden, left-over pasta salad from the weekend, grilled pork chops, sliced tomatoes and jalepeno cornbread baked in an iron skillet. After dinner, I prepared a large pot of pear relish, using pears from one neighbor and sweet peppers from another neighbor.
We received phone calls, email messages and facebook messages today wishing us a Happy Anniversary. I ordered a fresh flower arrangement for church next Sun. morning - for our anniversary.
As one of our sons observed at our 50th Anniversary celebration, we have been "happily incompatible" for all these years.
