OUR TRIP ACROSS THE COUNTRY

FINALLY THE DAY CAME WHEN WE HAD TO LEAVE LAS VEGAS, AND COME TO NEW JERSEY, WHERE THERE WAS A WARRENT OUT FOR HIS ARREST.  WE DREADED THAT DAY AND JIMMY KEPT PROLONGING IT.  WE LIVED A WONDERFUL FAIRYTALE EXISTENCE IN LAS VEGAS!  BETWEEN THE DAY WE GOT MARRIED 4/29 AND AUGUST, WE FLEW BACK TO NEW JERSEY TWICE, ONCE IN MAY, FOR JIMMY'S BIRTHDAY, AND THEN AGAIN IN AUGUST, FOR HIS FATHER'S BIRTHDAY.  AND SO I MET HIS FATHER, AND FRIENDS, AND JIMMY MET MY SISTER AND NIECE AND AUNT.  IT WAS COINCIDENCE THAT I MARRIED A MAN WHO LIVED 15 MINUTES FROM MY AUNT AND SISTER.  IRONICALLY, I HAD LITTLE TO DO WITH THOSE FAMILY MEMBERS FOR THE PAST 30 YEARS. I HAD RARELY SEEN THEM, AND HAD MINIMAL COMMUNICATION WITH THEM SINCE MY PARENTS DIED WHEN I WAS 30 YEARS OLD.  I'VE LIVED ON MY OWN, COMPLETY SINCE I WAS 20 YEARS OLD, MAINTAINING MY OWN APT./HOME , CAREER, ETC.....AND SO WHEN I MET JIMMY, I WAS SURPRISED , BECAUSE NOW HE TRIED TO BRING ME CLOSE TO MY FAMILY.  BUT HE SOON REALIZED, THIS WAS A DIFFICULT, IF NOT IMPOSSIBLE THING TO DO...FROM THEIR SIDE.  IT IS VERY DIFFICULT FOR ME TO 'INFILTRATE" THEIR LITTLE CIRCLE OF PEOPLE.  TO THEM I AM AND ALWAYS WAS, A "NON-ENTITY."  BUT I ALWAYS ACHIEVED THE HIGHEST "STAR" IN LIFE, AND I ALWAYS WILL.  ..........AND SO WE FLEW BACK TO JERSEY , EACH TIME FOR A COUPLE OF WEEKS.  AND OUR RELATIONSHIP CEMENTED, MORE AND MORE.  AND OF COURSE "MY JIMMY" FLEW ME "FIRST CLASS."......LOL!...AND I WAS SO PAMPERED FLYING FIRST CLASS, NOW I CAN'T GO ANY OTHER WAY!......I HAVE FLOWN AT LEAST 50 TIMES OR MORE IN MY LIFE, BUT NEVER FIRST CLASS...........AND LET ME TELL YOU, THAT IS THE ONLY WAY TO GO!........BIG COMFORTABLE SEATS......YOU CAN STRETCH OUT!....WARM FACE CLOTHS TO WASH YOUR HANDS AND FACE........DRINKS BEFORE YOU EVEN GET IN THE AIR,,,,,,,,,EVERYONE CATERING TO YOU!........WHAT A GREAT TIME WE HAD!.....YES, MY "CRIMINAL" HUSBAND,,,,MY INMATE...HE IS WONDERFUL,,,AND I DON'T CARE WHAT ANYONE THINKS!.............please read my next entry for the car trip back!
