I am also a late bloomer, so we're kindred spirits on that. As I've said for years, since I love to write romances with more mature couples than the ususal romances, IT'S NEVER TOO LATE TO FALL IN LOVE!<br /><br />So glad you shared your story with us.

He slung his long arm around my shoulders and quipped, "There's not enough time in the world." <br /><br />You're right, though, going back to college at an older age is a delightful experience.

They turned out to be incredible men. My daughters-in-law thank me often because I taught my sons how to cook, do laundry, sew on a button, clean bathrooms, vaccuum--and they do it as a matter of routine now. Are they alpha? In their own ways, yes. One, an assistant principal at a high schook, has a 4th degree balck belt in karate. The other, a safety engineer, coaches wrestling, football and is a competitive body builder.
