Who knows where we met, because it was 25 years ago! The most likely correct answer is Cayuga county around 1997, ‘98 or ‘99?
Yes, back when we were all much-less-cool versions of ourselves.
Bob lived in Weedsport and Lindsey in northernmost reaches of the Cato area (Floridaville, actually. . .yes, it’s on a few maps) and they were lucky enough to have met in and around those small towns again and again (when least expected) over the years, always friendly, but still living separate lives.
Fast forward to 2020. In late August, Taylor made chocolate chip pancakes which Lindsey posted on instagram. (A bunch of photos all at once actually). Bob “slid into the DM’s” and immediately set up the first date…
Bob took Lindsey up the Hill behind Tinker’s Falls, the HARD way. (Later admitting that a one-time former date couldn’t make it up past the falls (200 yards?) before whining to go home, and this was a ‘test’ to see if Lindsey was going to be able to keep up with Bob and his adventurous friends). Needless to say, Lindsey kept up, and loved every minute of it.
The photo from the hang glider launch site was very popular with friends on Instagram and in life, and they have been a happy family of SIX since that Fall.
Duke, Taylor, and Emma now try their best [worst] to [not] keep up with us on family hikes, rather finding forest and stream creatures, relishing time spent sitting on logs, stumps, stairs, ledges, roots, or rocks, and asking if there are any snacks or how much longer the hike will be 🤣
Kiana the mastiff has already accepted Bob as her second parent.
Our family has been igOfficial for 4 years. We’re ready to make it real-life official!
