I met my present wife on the phone at work. She also worked for AT&T, in Atlanta,GA. We got married about a year later and have been married now for 18 years.I was really blessed to find such a wonderful person to spend the rest of my life with.
Here's a picture of Dianne, the day after we were married in 1980:

I had 4 kids and Dianne also had 4, so thats how we wound up with so many children [8] and grandchildren [13].
We've been thru a bunch of cars since 1980, but none can hold up to the ones already mentioned. On one of our vacations in 1989, we went to the Merle Watson Festival in Wilksboro,NC.,He was Doc Watson's son.Anyway on the way back home we passed thru the Blue Ridge Mtns. of South Carolina..And really liked the area.A year or so later one of the kids was moving to this area and mentioned how cheap the property was up there. We soon after, traveled to the area looking for some property to build on some day. We were being shown property by a real estate person, and didn't really like anything he was showing. Every now and then we would pass area's that we liked, and would comment as so. Finally he took us to the place where we live now [not his listing].Soon as we saw it we knew we wanted to live here.It was right on a fair sized mountain stream, about 50' wide and clear as a bell.The creek was fed a few miles upstream from Raven Cliff Falls in Ceasar's Head State Park. And from the front yard you look at Table Rock Mtn. in Table Rock State Park.Anyway we were able to sell our home in WPB and buy this one.Here is a picture of our creek:
