When my mother’s niece heard of our elopement, she asked my Mother why we hadn’t first gotten engaged? With no effort to hide her disgust, she answered, “Because they didn't want to get engaged. They wanted to get married.”

“He who finds a true and faithful wife finds a good thing.”

That decision was 55 years ago today and there’s nothing more I can say to my mother about it. But this country boy can say to that little bright eyed city girl . . .
