Dave returned to Fort Leanard Wood where he was stationed. I was casualy dating other guys and Dave was going out with other girls. Afterall we had only had one date. We weren't seriously, exclusively dating until around the first part of December.
I took him "home" with me to the lake to have Christmas with my family. They let him stay in cabin #2 for the night. That is the year he gave me a beautiful red v-necked sweater with a red turtleneck dickey. He liked it when I wore red because that is the color that has always looked the best on me.I happened to already have a pair of red patton leather three inch high heels and a red skirt to go with it. The match was great.
Oh, did I mention that he had a gorgeous car. I think it was a Chevy, I know it was white with red interior. Besides his smile and charm, he was also more mature than the guys I had been dating.
And the plot thickens.....

Do you recall grandma and grandpa's first impression after that Christmas?
ReplyDeleteFunny story about meeting parents for the first time....Tracy's parents came to visit her her senior year in college. She and I were an item by then, but she had not told them. They thought we were just friends. They took me, her and Mike Allard out for dinner. After dinner all they could do is rave about how great Mike was. LOL. Story of my life.
Tracy got the best of the two of you.
