Good morning once again, and thanks for stopping back in today to visit with us. You guys are all appreciated!
First off this morning, I’d like to tell you a story I heard over the weekend. This is about a man and his wife.
It seems the husband couldn’t sleep and he’d gotten up, went into the dining room and was sitting at the table. His wife had awakened and saw he wasn’t in his bed asleep. Concerned she got up and went to check on him.
She found him at the dining room table, and saw immediately he had been crying. She became upset that something must be bothering him so terribly bad that he was in bad shape…just a squallin’.
She asked if she could help with anything, and he looked up startled to see her standing there. He replied that he couldn’t sleep and had come down to keep from interfering with her sleep.
He suddenly wiped a tear from his eye and told her, “You know, I’ve been thinking, and 25 years ago today, we first met. Did you realize that?” She said that yes, indeed she did.
He then told her that he remembered where they met, under what circumstances, where they were at the time, and even what she was wearing at the time. He asked her if she could still remember those things as well, and by now he was crying a little harder.
She put her arms around him and told him that yes, she too remembered all those things, and pulled up a chair beside him, by now crying too.
He then asked her if she remembered her Daddy coming out to his car and catching them messing around. She said yes, she remembered, and wiped a tear from her eye, so proud that this man thought enough of their relationship, that all these things that had taken place so long ago, he remembered, just as if they’d taken place yesterday.
Tearfully, he asked if she remembered her Daddy’s words upon catching them in the car, and she said she thought so, but for him to refresh her memory. He said, “You’re Daddy had his shotgun, and told me if I didn’t marry you, he’d have me arrested and thrown in jail. Do you remember?”
She laughed out loud at the memory he’d rekindled and that yes, she did know that this was exactly what her Daddy had said, 25 years earlier.

‘Ridin Out The Recession With Dub and Deb in “Miz Judi’s Kitchen’!
Note to Readers: There are a few things that Dub doesn’t know but one thing he does know is that the word ‘Riding’ (as in Riding Out the Recession) is spelled with a ‘g’ at the end. But Dub not only walks the walk, but speaks like he is: down home, true blue, and plain speakin’ country folk.
Dub and Deb are both native Floridians, live in Central Florida, and run a small business as well. They have five children, and seven grandchildren.
Both love to cook, love to laugh, grow a garden, and generally try to “aggravate” most anyone around them basically…all in good fun, of course!
