What astounds me really is that we were a couple for 11 years before that, so we’ve been together for over 30 years. That’s pretty amazing considering I’m still 12! 😃 ---

Thanks all 🙂 We had a nice day of sightseeing. We’ve lived her for over 10 years, but there’s some things we’ve never been to, and we decided to play tourist. So we had a late breakfast out, then did the Incline Railway up to Lookout Mountain, walked around Point Park, looked at Civil War stuff, then went to the Chickamauga Battlefield museum and park for another mosey around. A nice relaxed day 🙂 ---
