Ed & Diane

Attachment 8273

We've all dealt with each other for years so I thought I'd add a face to my name. Ed & Diane several years ago. I'm a born and bred Mississippi boy so excuse the LSU shirt. I really wanted to go to Mississippi State but LSU offered me a free ride (academics). BSME and then I met Diane. Tennessee girl, Irish/Indian. 6 kids later and here we are. 60 years old and hoping to work 4 or 5 more years. I've been a drilling engineer for my entire career, been around the world and have made money I'd have never thought possible. 2016 was not one of my better years work wise and still made 250k. Mississippi is really not a bad place to live making a good living because the average income is so low, the cost of living is very reasonable. And if any of ya'll ever want to come experience a little Southern hospitality let us know! Ed B

Great Thread Ed! Thanks for sharing a little about your background and family. Family is everything. I'd say your doing real good! The best of luck to you in 2017! :)

Thanks, Dale.

Good looking picture. Always nice to put a face with a name. I assume that's a grandchild? Cute!

Thanks, Bro. Yes, the young man is a grandchild. We have 13 (?) grandchildren and I'm pretty sure that's Cody.

You married way over your head. For what it's worth, so did I...Al

I'm sure you're right! Best thing ever happened to me! I was sitting in a little diner and she came up to me and said "do I know you?" And I said no. She then came back and asked again. I thought to myself duh Ed. I asked for her number and we've been together every since.

Very nice, Ed! As they say, you are Blessed. Happy for you.

Winter in the South. 72 degrees. Notice the mandatory camo on the little tractor. Beer cooler. And the boss said if I was going to post pictures of her I had to do better. Indian women don't need makeup to be beautiful!

Thanks, I've been blessed more ways than I could begin to count. Especially with Diane!

Yes, ... Ed, I concur with Gary. You are a lucky man in more than one way! Great picture of Diane by the way! She reminds me of my great-grandmother on my father's side, who was full blooded Cherokee. I have 2 very old ( the late 1800's) black and white pictures of her that I cherish.
