Welcome to Our Place


 Romance
Back to Full Blog  

"I'll only say this once. I've never said it before. This kind of certainty comes but just once in a lifetime. "

The Bridges

I forced Hook to watch "The Bridges of Madison County" with me when we first started dating.

The movie and the novel, a true love story one of my favorites.

The bridges are a few hours from here. I met Hook in DesMoines where he was coming off a run. He had a co-driver then who agreed to finish the delivery.

We visited the bridges and all the places that were included in the movie.

We spent the day travelling the Iowa countryside. Laughing, happy, together.

The bridges inside, are full of graffiti of the thousands of people who have visited them.

We signed our names in little hearts like school kids with crushes.

I love this memory.

It is the most romantic day I've ever had.

"It's just that I, oh, when I think of why I make pictures ... the only reason I can come up with ... it just seems that I've been making my way here ... it seems right now that all I've ever done in my life has been making my way here to you. And if ... I have to think about leaving here tomorrow ... without you ... "

True love is so precious and made to enjoy everyday. I know, like me, you will be so blessed with wonderful memories that will fill the waking hours of eachday. So, whenever we are apart from our loved ones we can anticpated the reunion. God speed and love to your days and future.

I love that movie too. What a tearjerker.

I know you both had a wonderful time together visiting the bridges like that, and writing your initials on the wall.

How neat!

Honey,

I know you will not read this until you get home. I just wanted to thank you for all the beautiful memories we have shared.

As we prepare for our newest adventure this weekend I couldn't help but think about all the things we've seen together, all the places we've visited. I cherish all the memories, even the ones that live in our future.

Just me and you.

Always,

Joy

Hi Nursey,

Did you know that it's Beautiful Women Month?
Well, it is and that means you !!!




I'm supposed to send this to BEAUTIFUL WOMEN,
and you are one of them !!!




Below is a wonderful poem Audrey Hepburn wrote
when asked to share her "beauty tips."
It was read at her funeral years later.

For attractive lips, speak words of kindness...




For lovely eyes, seek out the good in people.




For a slim figure, share your food with the hungry.




For beautiful hair, let a child run his/her fingers through it once a day.




For poise, walk with the knowledge that you never walk alone...




People, even more than things, have to be restored,
renewed, revived, reclaimed, and redeemed;
never throw out anyone.




Remember, if you ever need a helping hand,
you will find one at the end of each of your arms.




As you grow older, you will discover that you have two hands;
one for helping yourself, and the other for helping others.

If you share this with another woman,
something good will happen.
You will boost another woman's self esteem,
and she will know that you care about her.




It's BEAUTIFUL Women Month
TAG YOU'RE IT!



Dixie

Hi friend, Now I know why I feel a kinship with you. I was born in Iowa and lived there until I was 11 years old. I was born in Ames and grew up in Lineville. A TINY town on the Iowa- Missiouri line. I have Aunts in DesMoines and an uncle in Sigourney. My other grandmother lived in Boone and my aunt on that side lives in Mason City. What a small world. I loved your post and it made me miss that beautiful countryside. I've never been to "The Bridges" , but maybe the next time I come home for a visit? Where do you live? Thanks for a lovely post and I hope that you are having a good holiday.
