We ve been told we have starry eyes enchanting smiles and an aura of joy surrounding us. Everyone wants to know oursecretfor relationship success so we tell allin this little book. You ll find life stories that have brought laughter tears and enduring love. From the anxiety of that first blind date to dealing with serious health issues and traveling abroad we convey experiences that will help others discover how the sharing of deep emotional feelingscan lead to an intimate relationshipin the senior years.

We are privileged to share the joy we ve found and to challenge others of all ages to reach out and embrace life even if it is as late as an October Rose. - Robert Aldridge and Mona Long
