- On 7/3/09 I wrote: This is an experiment. I'm looking for someone to talk to. I'm 72 and remember WWII from Brooklyn. I got married at 19. He was Irish. I was Jewish. We lived in many places (Baltimore, New York City, Munich, Cambridge, Vienna) before ending up in Fayetteville, Arkansas where he taught at the UoFA and I was barefoot and pregnant. He was an alcoholic and gave up a tenured position and left me and the 3 kids in Rochester, NY where I had family. After we were divorced I lived with another man for 12 years before selling him my house and buying a small RV and going on the road. After 5 years of many adventures I met a man also traveling alone who took me to Australia for 6 months and we've been together ever since (7 yrs this May 2010) We hosted a remote primitive campground in the High Uintahs of Utah for 3 months in the summer and have a satellite dish. I really would like to have someone else to talk to so I thought maybe I could find somebody on blogspot. Now (1/31/2010) And I did find wonderful friends on many blogs
Hi Karin, I read your post on Fridge Soup and then posted too, thinking you had it on this post now I see not. I did not want to step on your new post at Fridge. I find your story fascinating. I am 72 also, married to the same man 50 years and traveled some but never out of the states. I am sure we have more similarities than differences so glad to meet you. My own life story is like your story in that it was my father the alcoholic who left us when I was 8. 50 years of marriage is not all happy or all sad, but just predictable, I guess. Blessings
