Picture of the three of us in the local paper.This is something that I got to come home to after work on Saturday. A nicely written article about how Dave and I met. It put tears to my eyes and was a very nice surprise. On V-day the article could be picked from a draw , dinner for 2 at the Primerose is the prize. Hope we win!
Love blooms in kitchen at Reo's
(David Prak, Special to The Delta OptimistPublished: Saturday, February 06, 2010)
Pizza. Pasta. Seafood.
Not exactly the ingredients that make up your typical love story, but when you are a cook at a local restaurant, you have to work with you've got.
Mix that with hard work and long hours, and you end up with a cook falling head over heels for a beautiful, spunky waitress. They do say that the way to a woman's heart is through her stomach...This is how Jolene and I met. Our relationship developed over the years we worked together at Reo's, and when it was finally time to leave the restaurant, the foundation for our life together was already set.Over the years I have come to realize it's not the story of the meeting itself, but the story of what it has become: a love that is reflected in our daughter's eyes and, in Jolene's rosy cheeks, the glow of the baby still to come.
Happy Valentine's Day, Jolene.
