Cat Forum / Cat Anecdotes / March 2005Cause to Smile (OT)
My LLL is so sweet, and since he doesn't have a computer we exchange snail-mail. I got a card in the mail from him today. On the front is some fruit, a couple of wine glasses, a bottle and the caption "I'll bring the hugs and kisses..." inside it says "...you just bring plenty to nibble on." (naughty boy!) I had told him last month the squirrels broke my bird feeder. It was hanging from some rather flimsy picture wire. He's a freelance artist; builds his own frames for his paintings. When we're on the road I help him wire them. I asked him if he could send me some heavy picture wire. Now, I'm lousy at judging distance and length so I said I needed a foot of picture wire. He doubted that, but being the dutiful man he is he put a circle of 12 inches of picture wire inside the card and then wrote, "Let's get wired!" What a nut! Of course I actually needed a yard/meter of wire so I still can't hang the feeder. But I got a good laugh for the afternoon :) Jill  SignatureI scoop and scoop and still she poops! > My LLL is so sweet, <snip> LLL??? Lascivious Latin Lover? Lazy Lumpy Loser? (cute story, BTW...;) -L. >> My LLL is so sweet, > [quoted text clipped - 9 lines] > > -L. LLL = Long Lost Love. We dated for 2 years (1979-1981). The reasons for the split were pretty stupid - not a fight or anything. (Oh, and he's 14 years older than I am.) We hooked back up in 2003 via phone - had had moved to NE Arkansas in the mountains. After talking on the phone a LOT, in spring, 2004 we met up again after 24 years; he'd been doing an art show in Houston and he drove over to Dallas; flew me into Dallas for our meeting. After the initial case of *nerves*, it was like no time had ever passed! We spent 5 wonderful days together before he had to go on to his next show. When I lost my job at the end of April, I began doing some of the art shows with him - helping with the canopy setup, hanging paintings, tearing it all back down, etc. He paid me a "salary" for doing so as well as paying all my expenses (including boarding my pets!). Other than unemployment it was my only source of income while looking for work between shows. At any rate, we are again madly in love and kicking ourselves for not recognizing it for what it was all those years ago :) The first show of the year is in Huntsville, Alabama. He's driving through Memphis and will swing by to pick me up! Jill > At any rate, we > are again madly in love and kicking ourselves for not recognizing it for > what it was all those years ago :) The first show of the year is in > Huntsville, Alabama.

I'm sure that North East Arkansas (If he doesn't have a show going, he could bring you both out to Toad Suck, and we could arrange a wedding by the river bank, Very romantic) has internet access, he has a cat and loves them, is very adorable from all descriptions, and adores you. Has he asked yet? If so, why haven't you accepted him? Persia needs a daddy. I love reading love stories....

No, we are not to that point although we've talked about it. We were both in long term (non-wedded) relationships before we found each other again and see no need to rush. Skittish would be a good word for it :) Jill > LOL! No, we are not to that point although we've talked about it.

Pretty neat how you found each other! -L. >> LOL!

Apparently we (neither one of us) ever really stopped thinking about each other. Maybe that's why we haven't had really successful relationships since then. <shrug> On our trip to Davenport, IA last fall he brought along a painting he'd done in 1985 (we split up in 1981 and he'd since moved away). It started as a still life of flowers on a table. But then he put ME in the upper right corner of the painting. And then he added a Persian cat in the lower left corner, strictly from imagination. He got it out of his truck, took down the awful motel-room print and hung it up so I could look at it. OMG! That *is* me! (or at least how I looked back then). He said yep. He said he would never sell it but I could have it. Well I couldn't carry it on the plane (it's 3 ft. wide and 5 ft. long). So he said he'd frame it and bring it to me when he comes to pick me up this trip. Isn't that sweet? I have the perfect wall for it. Jill
