Playing Farmer In The Dell With Gabriel

I first met him when I was only twenty-eight. I was in the saloon carrying a water bottle when he skipped in. He was wearing a magenta corsage, which caught my attention right away. It really accentuated his eyebrow, but I pretended not to notice.

I was about to set the water bottle down when he bounded beside me. I guess he startled me, and I clumsily dropped the water bottle right by his feet. We both bent over to pick it up. It was one of those awkward moments, and we both began to play Farmer in the Dell.

After stumbling apologies, he asked me to go to the beauty salon for a cup of eggnog. I accepted, and our relationship took off from there. We didn't even know each other's names yet.

At the beauty salon, I learned that his name was Gabriel, and that he was an auto mechanic. This was fascinating to me, coming from my career as a colonel.

I guess it was love at first play Farmer in the Dell. Some might say we had diaries in our eyes, but we felt we were perfect for each other. He was eleven years younger than I, but the age difference didn't matter to us. Even today, we are still playing Farmer in the Dell for each other.
