Default Kissed a Princess and became a FROG

All the years of planning and hoping have paid off. My bride and I (with Magic the wonder dogin the back seat) pulled into the driveway of our Hadley home yesterday. I kissed her and we looked at each other and said "welcome home".

And at that moment I became a FROG.

Woke up this morning and looked at the beautiful Florida morning.

MelZ, I remember your goodbye to New York story. Your words of love about the beautiful Brooklyn College co-ed you married after that date in Chinatown and dessert and coffee at La Bella Ferrara in Little Italy are beautiful.

It touched me to read how you celebrated your new beginning by crossing Canal Street again for dessert at the site of your first date. Now that is a true princess fairy tale come true story.

I'd like to offer you my twist on an old Irish blessing: In years to come, as you wake up with warmth of the sun or the sound of the rain, may the saddest day of your future be no worse than the happiest day of your past.

MelZ, the hubs and I spent 10 glorious days at our PT home in Silver Lake over the 4th of July. We finally found the America we remembered as kids! Unfortunately, we have to wait 3 more years to become FROGS! Ah well, we can come to visit a couple of times a year and spend time with our friends! Enjoy your life!!!

Hi MelZ,

I too remember fondly your leaving NY story, and love your tale of becoming a frog! You know, you didn't even have to bring Magic to find her here.

I wish you and your Princess and Magic a most amazing and glorious future in TV. I hope we have a chance to become friends.

Best wishes,
PTurner

We got in yesterday too. Left Ohio at 5 am yesterday (with our son, dog and cat) and arrived at 7:30 last night. It is SO good to be home. Now, if we could just sell our Ohio home and come down to Hadley full-time we would be happy campers..... Where are you in Hadley? We are on Plaintain Path.

Congratulations to both of you. May you become very very old frogs.
