Good evening dear one. I am so glad my introduction of Jay, my life partner, struck a positive chord. Jay is from Minnesota, an artist, a therapist, a generous human. I met him on E-harmony. Every once in a while, you are given a minute to see a brief summary of someone who may live outside your boundaries (I lived on a mountain in CA.) If you say o.k., you have a minute to see a profile and then you must decide. I said....oh what the heck, let's see what we have in common.

As it turned out we had a lot in common and some cultural differences. He had lived in two states and was 5 years younger. He loved nature, dogs, art, and children. I had lived in 9 states including Hawaii and traveled on business for years. I loved art. dogs, children, golf, and mountains.

We have been together for 8 years now and have enjoyed most of it including the COVID year. We really got to know each other then and have built a trusting relationship turning 7 acres on the Mississippi into a park along with some great neighbors. We also started a "Count on me Club" with the neighbors....always available to help and share.

I wouldn't change a thing....including the cold winter, conservative culture, and hunting activities. We are just great buddies. Give it some thought.

G'night.
Chris
