BETSEY AND TONY HAD TO LEAVE THE BALLROOM FLOOR!
COME BACK NEXT WEEK FOR SWITCH-UP AND MUCH MORE!What is your most memorable year? I choose two:
1975 – When I married Kenneth E Troutman, my beloved husband
2001 – When our 11 year cancer journey was over and he died. RIP KEN!
I was given the best gift I could receive, my husband for 26 years.
I miss you terribly, my mate!
Well hell, if I had known that, I would have volunteered to pick Derek up at the airport, take him to dinner and drop him off at the hotel. 🙂
On the excuse of course that I was in the area visiting my Cajun relatives.
