Mine is simple but probably pretty typical, it all started on March 15, 1958, yep I remember the precise date. My good friend David, his girl friend Jackie, invited Barbara and myself to take a afternoon ride to the Dairy Queen. We started dating, I left for the AF a couple years later, and two years later we were married and she joined me in NC. Our first was born in Tampa, our second was born in Alaska, and for the next 49 years, seven months and 23 days the AF and Barbara were my life. We returned to Indiana last month, had a Dilly Bar at the same Dairy Queen to commemorate where it all began and in February will celebrate our 50th year together. The Villages is a great "icing on the cake" to it all. We do have our favorite exit on I-75 (Exit 2 in Ga) to stop on trips north to get a Dilly Bar - now sugar free of course..

kb8tpw, I haven't had a Dilly Bar in years -- they are delicious. I should have one this weekend to toast you and Barbara. Here's hoping you two have many more happy years together.
