I'm told 2:52am.  Honestly I don't remember, but I was apparently very impolite on everyone.


I might read a book if you were to sign it.  We'll communicate and you can get me an address I can mail it to (with a self-addressed return envelope enclosed) and that would be fun!  I have many signed books.  Suggest which one I might be able to touch to my palate...

I have to agree with Myrl. No matter how long it takes. And sometimes it takes a while. When it's right, it's right.

Mimi Foster Beautiful entry!

I love your love story and how you both continue to make each other special every day. Did you read this list to Dave? 

Nov 07, 2019 05:54 PM
Mimi Foster

Dave always says he's as good as he is because I believe he's that good (make sense?). Sometimes I'll send my girls an email to tell them something special that he's done and I'll say to him . . . I just made our girls fall in love with you a little more. Or I'll post something on FB and say, I just made my 'friends' fall in love with you a little more. Tonight I said, AR doesn't know you very well. I'm going to make them fall in love with you a little more. And I showed him the list. Cute that you asked me. Thanks, Margaret!

Oh my goodness, Mimi... what a wonderful story and tribute to your husband. You certainly got yourself one of the good ones. We hear of so many bad relationships, it's wonderful to read a story like yours... gives all of us hope.

Dave and I share an office and we will often read stories in the news that have us looking at each other and saying, "My God, we are so blessed." There ARE some good ones out there.

Is not a good movie or meal or travel episode worthy of mention/sharing? How much more then to mention a person of good character, warmth & worth? Share-on! The brevity of life has the final mention. Lets give it much to say

Hi Mimi,
Wow... you got a winner there! But, we all know a good relationship is a two-way street so I'm looking forward to you publishing his list of the things you do for him and why he loves YOU!  I'm sure the list is just as long.

I don't only like this blog post, I love it Mimi, and would hit that button a hundred times if AR would let me!

I feel very fortunate to have been allowed a glimpse of your incredible love story, and wonderful family. The very special bond you all share - even with the ones on the other side of the country - shines through in every single picture you post and story you tell Mimi. You are so blessed,  you inspire, and you give me hope.. maybe there is another historic homes savior/bachelor out there with similar qualities. If not, that's okay, too, but I won't settle for anything less.  

Nov 09, 2019 11:21 AM

Don't ever settle again. No matter how long it takes, he's waiting for you too. Love you, girl . . . let's make it happen

He doesn't like having his picture taken too much, but he's kinda cute. Yeah, it's almost a contest to see who can appreciate the other more LOL
