So on a walk to see the early Woodland wildflowers were two females and myself. We were on a trail in Lake Louise state Park located in southeastern Minnesota. On the trail ahead is Lily, Barb and my rescue dog. Following behind is myself and an unnamed former teaching colleague of mine who also happens to be a long time widow. It's my first date in more than 50 some years since........... needless to say I'm a little out of practice and probably, maybe especially, on dating protocol. Spotting a small patch of wild Phlox I say"can I take your picture in front of those beautiful flowers?"
"NO!!!!!" is the answer. Oooops. I goofed. Handing her my little point-and-shoot camera she had no problem taking my picture among beautiful flowers
Good for you for getting out, and on a date! Don't worry that you may be a bit rusty for such an activity, just do it! You're looking good, Ray.
ReplyDeleteThat wasn't your goof, some people are funny like that.
ReplyDeleteGood to see you and Lily out and about! Yeah for a date...you old charmer:)
ReplyDeleteA typical female … keeps us guessing. Thanks so much for commenting on my blog, I've missed you !!!
ReplyDeletePS: a great picture of you.
Good for you! Diving in.
ReplyDeleteYour story brought back memories of my first date in more than 35 years. I like to think that I learned from the experience as I am sure you have as well. Still, it's a little scary, isn't it?
ReplyDeleteHi Ray - so pleased you've met someone with whom you can get out and about and do things with ... gives Lily more time to do her thing ... bet she's savouring the fresh plants. Carry on enjoying the simple pleasures of life ... take care - all the best Hilary
ReplyDeleteWe camped,at Lake Louise often when my children were little. We always brought our canoe to,go out on the lake and one weekend there was a bagpiper piping from a hill over the lake and it was the most wonderful thing ever! So good to hear you have some company on your hike. There is no dating protocol at our age. Just be kind to each other and have fun!
