Tricky tune, right? Hm. The second set of notes are the same. Dum Dum De
Dum. What does it mean? Well, just in case you have no musical sense. I
will continue. "Going to the chapel and we're....". Yes, Loren and I
are going to be married.
At one time I would have wondered why anyone my age would want to marry
again, especially since I have been single for over twenty years. I
would be the first to say I was pretty pathetic. However, Loren Nelson
did enter my life a year and a half ago. We have tested this
relationship. Questioned if this would work with a woman who loved her
freedom. Through it all, we discovered that there is so much life and
love we have ahead of us. He is my best friend and just a silly guy who
loves his woman.
Loren is a professional photographer. His work is shown in many
galleries on the west coast. A gifted photographer who has a wonderful
reputation. He comes from a family of potters and artists. I come from a
family in the performing arts. We are a good match. We have much to
learn about one another and many adventures ahead of us.

Loren and I had a conversation on our return from a gallery show in
Astoria about being at the perfect age to marry. Our priorities are so
much different than those we had at a younger age. We both have been on
our own and in other relationships, so we have a pretty good idea about
love. We have no desire to move into a home where we will raise
children. No jobs to bother with. We are focused on family, volunteering
and creating with our own artistic interests. Plus, we have all the
time in the world, any day of the week, to have a new adventure. What
could be more perfect!
Perhaps you wonder at this strange column, but I am a child of Neff
Road. Maybe I need your permission. We have it from our kids. Maybe you
and I are, by now, old friends once a week. I will be bringing him back
this summer. He is very interested in meeting all of you and walking
down Neff Road with me. He plans to bring his camera and capture the
house back the lane.
We are not sure when we will be married. Perhaps late summer or fall.
Nolan is thrilled to be the ring bear. Yep, I said bear. Emma is ready
to toss flower petals at people. What could be better? So we invite you
to be part of our new adventure. Looking forward to our meeting you when
we come back to farm country.
I just had to tell you.....dum dum de dum.
