I check this little spot often and no one seems to be posting so I just stay silent and move on. Now many nice people are coming out of the Woodworks! It's nice to meet all of you!

I am so sorry for those of you who have lost your loved one. I was young when we started dating so we have actually been together close to fifty years. I don't know what I would do without him because I am not much of a people person and he is the victim when I have a lot to say. Since my parents have been gone for a few decades now, he and my pets are my support system.

And I am from Florida also! St. Petersburg is probably my favorite town, but I live just west of there.
