I'm now in Mobile, Alabama.
I recently turned 67 years old and thought it'd be fun to share a story about a family member titled:
Granny
My maternal granddad passed away before I was born. Granny was single for 13 years before marrying her second husband. In her mid 60s he passed. She waited one year to the day and went to beating the bushes. Writing letters to preachers she knew, going to Revivals. Said she wasn't going to wait another 13 years.
Not long afterwards she met Delmar in Northeast Texas at a Gospel Meeting. They spent three days and nights talking and 3 weeks later got married in my parents backyard by the swimming pool.
For years they were like a couple of teenagers on their honeymoon. Both of them retired in their mid 60s with lots of freedom and modest resources.
It was beautiful to watch.
