About Me

My photo
Middle Tennessee, United States
I was raised in a very close, Christian based middle-class family in a Southern city suburb. I have been married 34 years. I have 2 grown sons, a beautiful granddaughter, and 1 older sister. Our home right now is also home to 3 dogs, 3 cats, and 2 pet chickens! I love music, outdoors, pets, wildlife, and new adventures. I love all of nature and God's many creations and can't imagine a life without a love of God and family, wildlife and the outdoors.

War and Love

This is a short love story. She had already had more experiences than women twice her age. Her first husband had died in a wreck within the first year of marriage. Young girl from Ashland City, now she had left her home to do her part for the war effort, in the Ford Plant in Detroit where they were building the B-24 bomber airplanes. Little did she know the future that was to be. They met and knew almost at once they were to be together for life. He worshiped her as she did him...


War rations, time cards, and pay stubs from a time that seems so long ago - 1943.


Their wedding day - October 7, 1944


His adoration, her devotion. Their life, such a beautiful union as one, until his death 20 years later.
