bunny_hugger said yes. Thank you for your congratulations. We're happier than you could have imagined we'd be. I asked her at Seaside Heights, after we'd walked the Boardwalk on this wonderful and surprisingly warm day. After we'd done a few varied tasks and bought a carousel calendar for the year, we went to the Floyd L Moreland Carousel for a ride. We had the carousel to ourselves. And after that, sitting beside the carousel, with my heart racing, I asked. We haven't set a date. She'd suspected what was coming, from the racing of my heart as I held her. Afterwards, as we walked back to the car, there was thunder and lightning, and a modest yet actual thunderstorm, on the first of January. How does such a thing happen? bunny_hugger is most wonderful. There's nothing trivial about today. And who would be busy reading on a day like this?
