This is the ultimate in blustery days. I expect to see Pooh and Piglet blowing by any time now and I saw a few Christopher Robins in downtown Portsmouth this morning with inverted umbrellas!
Dreary days make me think of Mary. I guess the sad weather brings about sad feelings but it also makes me think of the missed comfort of being with each other.
I think of the times when we were first married and living in an apartment on Hampton Beach during the fall while waiting for me to start Basic Training. We didn't have a car, both worked part time jobs, didn't have two nickels to rub together, but we had each other.
It seemed like we owned the beach and even in weather like this we walked, hands tightly clasped, and talked about our plans for the future...We wanted kids, but how many? When? We talked about me going into the Army and wondered how we'd make it through the long separation of basic training. And we talked about us...our dreams and plans for the future.
We had it all figured out, and had all the answers...decided as we walked, hands tightly clasped, on a rainy and blustery day.

I can picture the two of you...a lovely image.
Posted by: Alison on October 28, 2006 07:30 PMIt was a blustery day here, too! It was part one of moving day. Tomorrow is the furniture, heavy stuff and all in storage. I'll email you soon w/ our new phone number, and possibly new email.
Can you believe I'm going to be a country girl?
Hugs to you.
