Wow! What memories you shared with us. I loved reading this. I enjoyed all the little interesting facts like the mascara in that pink & green tub, the Po O' Gloss, the Moody Blues. You gave readers much descriptive words to chronicle your first date. Thanks for sharing. Congratulations on your 43 years of marriage to your best friend. Best wishes in the contest. Jan

What a wonderful story! Just goes to show that happiness pops up when you least expect it. How fortunate the two of you are to have found each other and to have shared these wonderful years.

Great writing that puts the reader alongside you through the story.

This is very well-written. I like stories with a happy ending. I was getting a sonogram and somehow wound up talking about the technician's dating life. She had smeared a gooey substance on my chest. She said she never gets a second date. I said men don't like to go home slippery. It makes their wife suspicious.

Even back then you both look well suited and a union that would last 43 years, a wonderful story of love, listening to the Moody blues brought back some memories for me too, a delightful story, much enjoyed, love Dolly x

This was a good contest. The stories are so interesting. That was sweet of you to pick your husband for the story. It sounds like he was your best first date of all first dates. Not many people have a lifetime love like yours. It was nice to read about such a relationship.
Your story really takes me back to a time when girls did not call boys. And to a time when high school students had meetings and busy schedules. I still wear Great Lash Mascara.
I truly enjoyed your trip down memory's lane. I wish you the best in the competition.

Dear Mystery Writer,

What a lovely story! It's so funny... I know several people who have scary fathers -- my girls actually think their dad is one. hahahaha! Well, they know that he won't allow anyone messing with them, for sure, and that passes on to all the boys who want to drop by. It's heaven! hahaha

Thanks and good luck in the voting!

    Thank you Shreya for the excellent review and kind words. It was so grand to write our first date down on paper and get it to print today. I felt I accomplished a lifetime goal.
