Due to a few requests and as promised, the next segement in my series about how Danny and I got together. You can also catch it from the beginning with a “Suprising Turn of Events“ and then follow the links at the bottom of each to the next segment.
Part V
A Tough Day to Get Through
I woke up early the next day… well, early for me on a Sunday, about 7:00am. As if on cue, the phone rang. It was Danny on the other end wishing me a good morning. He asked if he could take me to breakfast. He said he really wanted to spend some time with me before things got crazy for the day. Of course, since he had already mentioned this possibility on the phone the night before, I was prepared and said, “Yes, I’d love to go out to breakfast with you.” I told him it would take me about forty-five minutes to get ready and ten or fifteen minutes to get over to where he was living. So I’d see him in about an hour.
Once I was ready, I drove over to his sister’s house. By then, his Mom had arrived and stayed the night. His youngest sister was also in town, but she was out with friends. I stopped my car in front of the house. Danny was waiting outside for me. He motioned for me to roll down my window, which I did. Danny invited me inside to meet his Mom. I parked my car in front of the house and went inside with him. (more…)

It’s been a busy couple of weeks while I enjoyed the 40th Anniversary of the Albuquerque International Balloon Fiesta and tried to get back on track with my course work & my iodine supplements. This weekend is going to be a little busy too.
So I decided to address some recent requests to finish-up the series I started a couple years ago about how Danny & I came to be together. You can refresh your memory (or read for the 1st time) the posts that came before this — here – Starting with “Surprising Turn of Events“. Then at the bottom of each segment, there should be a link to the next one in the series, up to this one. Enjoy!
Since we are fast approaching our second anniversary, I figured, it’s appropriate. So here you go… “the REST of the story…”
Part IV
Let’s See How Things Go
Since Danny had said he would need time and we should take things slow, I figured I wouldn’t see him for a week or two, except perhaps I would probably see him briefly at the memorial service that next weekend. But I didn’t expect to see him for dinner or anything like that for a couple of weeks. I figured he would call whenever he needed to talk, but I was prepared to give him ooddles of whatever “space” he might need. I was in no hurry.
The next morning, I was a little surprised when (more…)

Wow! It’s been a busy few weeks. So I’ll post just a short bit for today, and more in a day or two. The 40th Anniversary of Balloon Fiesta was great… but like I said, more in a couple of days.
I got a little overwhelmed with events of the last two weeks. I had been going along all hunky-dory, as they say. Then I took the last two tablets of my iodine supplement. “Ok,” I thought, “No real biggie. I don’t think they were helping all that much anyway. I’ll see how it goes without them for a week or so.” I had thought that the recent burst in energy was a only a combination of the new thyroid medication I was on & the nutrition shakes I was taking. I’m sure that was part of it, but I soon learned that one should not mess with a synergistic success!
Within about 3 or 4 days without my iodine supplement, I began to feel (more…)
