70 YEARS

Meet Mickey

And this is Nadine
We met them when they moved to the Manor last November. We resonated.......isn't it funny how there can be perfectly nice and interesting people in your life, but once in a while an honest-to-goodness and lovely chord is struck that is a little different than most of the associations that have come about? 'Twas so with these new residents. 

Some people at the Manor arrange to sit together for meals. We, and Nadine and Mickey agree, like to sit at different tables in order to get to know people. We're perfectly happy to go where the hostess directs us. By chance, we sometimes get to sit together and the delight seems to be mutual.


Mickey is an unrelenting tease, or at least I hope he was feigning boredom in this picture.


Tomorrow will mark their 70th wedding anniversary.
I ask you. Isn't that awesome?

  4. Ted, it's a lot like a cruise ship that never leaves the dock......very much like the Queen Mary.
