While in Springfield yesterday, Rick and I ate lunch at Ryan's Cafeteria, deciding that would be our Valentine's Outing. We discussed the more traditional things such as flowers, jewelry and chocolate. I was not in the mood for flowers, why spend a lot of money on jewelry when there is the $1 jewelry store in Branson, and then the chocolate - he said I could only eat one piece a day, so why bother??
The chocolate discussion reminded us of one of the first boxes of chocolates he ever gave me. I hid it in my dresser and truly did make it last for several days. Apparently there was reason to believe my little brother might get into it so I counted the pieces each day. Well, I don't remember if I caught him or he 'fessed up, but the count was off and Jimmie Bilyeu was in BIG TROUBLE!!
Looking back through my old photo album I found this picture which was the first one ever taken of me and Ricky Crum. I was 12 (way too young) and he was 15. He waited for me to grow up and we were married at 18 & 21. On April 4 we will celebrate our 40th Wedding Anniversary.

No wonder that older boy was looking your way. You were the cutest, most mature 12 year old I've seen. Brenda
I sure thought I was quite grown up. By the time I realized I may not have been, it was way too late :)
