Bill Reed

A Lifetime of Adventures Bill Reed

Their fifty-seven-year honeymoon is a statement unto itself. From celebrating their love in southern Florida on OUR BEACH, to meeting HOT LIPS THE BEAR... We are sitting at the picnic table laughing at this pesky squirrel, when a grizzly bear stuck her head through the brush at the end of the table. About forty-five minutes ago, I made a mistake that could cost both of us our lives! I left our pepper spray in the car! Their memories and experiences span over 60 years. Not only do their short stories encompass joy and laughter, they also portray the heartache and honor of a Marine. After many disturbing days and nights, Rose tried to help, telling me, "if you keep telling yourself, this is only a dream, maybe soon you will start to believe, and then maybe you can get some sleep. After a period of time, it started to work, to a certain degree. Their adventures began many, many miles apart, Rose in Wisconsin and Bill in Mississippi. They each started their high-spirited exploring at a very early age and when they met in their twenties, it could only be described as fate. Their love for life, adventure and especially for each other exploded and they became one. This was truly a union made in heaven. True love took them on the ride of their lives and the open road was their avenue to A LIFETIME OF ADVENTURES!
