I am a 62 year old woman. I enjoy the local people of my small town.I worked in the Travel business for over twenty five years My husband was severly injured and was a paraplegic and a double amputee. I had moved way from Luverne when I married him ten years prior to the accident. I had family in Luverne, Al and he wanted to move here and build a home. We did build a beautiful home on some land that was in my family. He said he wanted to build a monument to the beauty and joy that he had known in our life together. Only fifteen years and five of those he was in a wheele chair.
He passed away five years a go . Two years after them I met this really fine man from Tampa Florida. We were married on a beautiful Oct. day. We were old folks, but had an oudoor country wedding that is still the talk of the town 450 guest witnessed our marriage. He arrived rideing on our carriage and our old retired trotter Dr.His best man carried a John Wayne style shotgun. We jumped the broom, tied a rope in a knot and my cowboy son gave me away as the sun was just setting and two differnt choirs sang spurituls "His Eye is own the Sparrow" as welll as a song they had written just for us. One choir sang with no music. We had a county band and danced until I could not stand. Remenber I am an ol woman. Tents tables carriaqge house and the barn was full. We had skeet shotting. Cow patty bingo (you will have to ask me about that one) golf and fishing contest. Not too much talant, but lots of laughs and fun. After getting to know the people here my husband and I decided to open a small antique shop, then a small coffee shop. We areboth retired and still work a little bit when we don't have another project going. We fixed up some old stores down town and other people got the same idea. Down town looks a lot like it did years past.
