Marriage is a journey where two imperfect individuals create a perfect bond. A successful marriage requires falling in love many times, always with the same person.”
Mignon McLaughlin
My wife and I were reunited at our fiftieth-class reunion, June 4, 2022. We said our vows January 31, 2023. Yes, I am a little early, but then again, we aren’t guaranteed anything in life so I thought I would begin the celebration early. My darling wife has a big heart, and I always kid her that if she got carjacked, she would run alongside the car asking them if they had enough gas money. She is kind, loving and puts up with me. I still can’t get her to eat possum, but there is still time.
The love of my life. Now after posting these pics, pardon me while I disappear somewhere in Siberia until it is safe to come out.
We lived 8 months in a 31-foot camper working as Campground Hosts in the Silver Mines Recreation Area, and we are still speaking to each other. Now that says something about our relationship. I am a lucky man. Evelyn, I know I am a little early, but Happy Anniversary and we have only begun.

Nice job! Now… tell us more about this whole “eatin’ possum” thing… are they… are they GOOD? I didn’t even know they were edible but I guess anything is if you have enough hot sauce.

Thank you! Yes they are good eating. Just had one last week. I trim all the fat off them and wrap them in aluminum foil with some onion. Cook until they are about done and punch holes on the top side of the foil. Turn them slowly and finish cooking them. Then I open the foil and coat with BBQ sauce and cook about 5 minutes. Or you can par boil til you have boiled all the grease out, then put some carrots, onion and taters in a pressure cook.

I’m getting that they are greasy, then? They do look rather fat… when I see them walking front of my truck at night.

That they are, a wee bit more than a raccoon, but prepared properly you wouldn’t even know it.

Uuuuh, I’m with your wife, sounds like eating road kill. I’d rather go to the nearest grocery store and buy some chicken. Do possums taste like chicken? Congratulations on your anniversary!

Thank you. yes a tad bit. the reason the chicken crossed the road was to show the possum it could be done,

The art of marriage is learning to live in constant forgiveness, both given and requested.
Now possum?? Hmm, I’ve tried everything from alligator to frog to horse to rattler to squid to turtle to zebra, but somehow overlooked possum! Maybe if we see some roadkill this spring?😂

Very nice Wayne. Here’s to a year…tips glass…
At my wedding my uncle sided up to me and said “you know the honeymoon is over when the wife starts barking and the dog brings you your shoes….46 years later, thankfully that hasn’t happened.
