With their anniversary coming, Ron wanted to do something special for Anne. He found a Bed and Breakfast near the ocean that seemed to perfectly fit the bill for a romantic day together. It didn’t offer breakfast, but did have a private hot tub in their deluxe room. He told Anne about renting the B&B […]
(We’ve been asked what the numbers are for in the Ron and Anne stories. They are for putting the stories in approximate chronological order as opposed to the order they were written.) It was a family camping weekend. The children were just entering their teen years and Ron and Anne were definitely looking forward to […]
Ron was enjoying an early Sunday morning cup of coffee in the living room when his watch warned him that it was time to start getting ready for church. Getting her a cup of coffee and a piece of toast, he went to wake Anne. As he stepped through their bedroom door, he saw she […]
After the death of Anne’s father, she and Ron spent part of most weekends with her mother in the house where Anne grew up. They slept Friday nights in her old bedroom. Ron would spend his Saturdays on chores to maintain the house. Anne spent the day doing “girl stuff” that her Mom couldn’t do […]
Anne and Ron went to the company Christmas party. One of the activities was for couples to have their picture taken together. When the photos were developed, Anne was appalled at the amount of gray in her hair. She wore her hair long and, in her opinion, the gray made her look like Mrs. Santa […]
She was so beautiful… Her long brown hair, now streaked with silver, lay in disarray on the pillow.
After Ron’s relocation to his company’s corporate offices, both he and Anne were pleased that this would likely be the last corporate transfer required of them. They bought a hectare of heavily wooded land and built their “retirement home,” hoping to never have to move again. After several months of getting settled in, Anne suggested […]
The summer had been brutal, the hottest Ron and Ann had experienced. Temperatures had been in the 90s, and more than one day exceeded 100oF. Their back yard was heavily forested and nicely shaded, but at 100o, shading just wasn’t enough to make it comfortable. They had considered putting in a pool, but it turned […]
After exhausting days settling into their new home, Anne woke one morning from a romantic dream in which she and Ron were showering together. Suddenly, she realized nature was calling, and if she continued to picture running water, she was going to have an accident. She hurriedly got up and, holding her gown between her […]
Ron entered the front door and called out for Anne. No answer. He went out the back door to see if she might be in the backyard. Seeing her gardening tools leaning against the work shed, he walked across the bridge leading to the shed. She was sleeping peacefully in a hammock he’d had hung […]
Ron was transferred to his company’s corporate offices, so while he settled in at work, Anne went shopping for a new house. She found several wooded acres away from other homes on which they could build. The land was close enough to town to be convenient and far enough from the neighbors to function as […]
This story looks back on the time Anne and Ron had been married a little over a year. While they were still in that lonely period of no sex for six weeks after their daughter was born, they decided to visit Ron’s parents—in part to show off their two-week-old. After supper, Anne nursed the baby […]
