Young Buddie was so cool...

I’ve always been so grateful that Buds and I met at the exact right moment.  Both in a new city.  Both with friends, but still open to finding that perfect someone.  Him 1 1/2 years out of a serious relationship, so ready to move on.  Me, spending intensive amounts of time with a man I would have married, but it would have been not good.  We make much better best friends now.

I’ve also been grateful that we didn’t meet sooner.  If we would have gone to college together, for example, I would have been totally in love with him, and it just would not have worked.  When we met, I was at my sassiest and fittest, and the quiet, introverted, but incredibly quick-witted and sensuous Buds was ready for someone with a flash of fire.

Anyway, I digress.  The Little Mother brought lots of “memory” items she cleaned out of their house.  They were pretty musty, so Buds and I agreed they would not be staying, but I want our children to know about these parts of their father’s history.  Plus, he is just so dang cute…still is…
