Good Afternoon
Pat, I love this memory of the Brass Bed. I think sometimes people are meant to cross our paths for a brief moment in time and then they are gone like a flash of light. I'd say this is one of those good memories.

That ex mother-in-law had her brass-coated nerve!

Enjoyed reading about this memory! Mine is a brass bed too, bought by my ex, with suggestion from his mom, because I had complained about his lumpy mattress. When we separated, his mom mentioned that it brought her a nice memory, that she would like to have the bed. I said 'No way. I have far more memories than you with that bed!' She didn't argue.

Good morning
Oh, the 80s. Great music, girls' night out on Wednesdays and Saturdays at the local club where all of the military men flocked to, and the fear of catching AIDS. It's my favorite time in the history of my life. I too was single until I met John in the Spring of 86. As for that big brass bed, it would have been a crime against humanity not to embark upon its lovely invite. $500 smackers was a lot of money back then, but if you love brass, and I do as seen by my own brass headboard, it was a deal and a memorable night for you and Norm.

Re: CCT
A few months later Bella and Norm decided to give their marriage another try, and as far as I know they're still together, both retired from their faculty jobs, probably spoiling their grandkids and visiting historic sites in their camper every summer.

Well Pat I hope you were the only one he told that story to. I guess he was looking for intellect.
