I Remember Judy - A Love Story - Chapter Forty-Two

Home Again The journey home was uneventful, despite some slippery roads in the mountains of Tennessee. We weren’t in a hurry and made an occasional stop just to see something Judy had spotted on a billboard along the freeway. Most of them were a lot like the old circus ‘freak show’ banners you used...

I Remember Judy - A Love Story - Chapter Forty-One

The Days, They Fly By Quickly The next ten days seemed just to disappear, but I remember them yet today. We spent a day at the new Disney World, covering as much as we could in the day we had set aside for it. The Florida complex was vast compared to the California site. Sea World was just down the...

I Remember Judy - A Love Story - Chapter Forty

You Are Wonderful Tonight For the next two weeks, Judy and I enjoyed our time, our surroundings, and each other. We went to the Atlantic over by Jensen Beach and just sat on the beach for several hours, watching the waves on their relentless search for the shore. The rise and fall of the water were...

I Remember Judy - Chapter Thirty-Nine

Learning About Each Other As much as I worried about Judy having problems with our new intimacy, I think she had begun to relax and emotionally matured. We spent the next two weeks resting and unpacking our thoughts and burdens. Everyone carries them around, but few people carry as much baggage as... Sign in to see full entry.

I Remember Judy - Chapter Thirty-Eight

Heading South The next morning, we awakened almost at precisely the same time. The weather had warmed during the night, and some of the snow was melting away. We made some coffee, and I loaded our luggage into the car while Judy showered. When she was out, I took a shower while she made sure that I... Sign in to see full entry.

I Remember Judy - Chapter Thirty-Seven

Of Toasts and Dances As we got into Steve’s car and headed toward the reception, the snow fell a little faster, giving me hope that we would be home that evening at a decent hour. Our honeymoon plans were to leave home at about nine in the morning to be in Kissimmee, Florida, at about noon the next... Sign in to see full entry.

I Remember Judy - Chapter Thirty-Six

Finally! I thanked Dad for his time and put my hand out to shake his, but he wasn't having that. He pulled me in and hugged me for nearly a minute. I think we both understood that there would be a change in our relationship after this day. I asked him when he was going to head up, and he told me he... Sign in to see full entry.

I Remember Judy - Chapter Thirty-Five

Steve and I met at a local trucker diner and ate our last breakfast as roommates. We had lived together for five years, and it was difficult to realize that we wouldn't be doing that anymore. He and Lois had just officially announced that they were going to get married four short months behind us,... Sign in to see full entry.

I Remember Judy - Chapter Thirty-Four

‘Momma’s Baby’ Judy’s first obstetrical visit wasn’t until late February, but she had been talking with the doctor that she had chosen almost every night at work. I had known this lady for a long time myself, working with her several times when we had imminent deliveries out in the field. She had a... Sign in to see full entry.

I Remember Judy - Chapter Thirty-Three

The Sunday we were driving to that dinner, Judy worried and fretted all the way up about what she was going to say and how her mom would react. I assured her that, given time, every mother looked forward to becoming a grandmother when her daughter was properly married. We would weather any storm,... Sign in to see full entry.
