Fred lives in Kentucky and I live in a small town in Tennessee. We had a long distance love affair going on until work transferred me to Kentucky a few months ago. It is wonderful living so close together after all this time.
One of our favorite places to go is the horse races. Fred picked me up on my birthday and we went to a very nice restaurant for dinner and then headed for the track.
Fred bought a ticket for a draw there and said it was for me. At the end of the fourth race, they called my name saying I had won and go to the winners circle. When Fred and I got there, they handed me a dozen roses. I was so surprised but it was nothing compared to the next one. Fred asked me to marry him. I said yes and the crowd cheered.
