Ooma’s million-dollar smile<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

That isn’t her real name, but that’s the way we roll here; are you surprised to hear that Sparky is not my real name either?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Anyway, I have been keeping company with a lovely lady who will be known as Ooma here. She is older than I – by about 10 days – and is also widowed, having lost her husband of 37 years in 2016. I happened across her on a dating site to which I had been paying scant attention because there was never anyone there that interested me. But a week ago, on a whim, I took a peek and there, smacking me in the face, was a photo of this beautiful woman. Well, we exchanged some email messages, chatted on the phone, had dinner and, honestly, I am totally smitten. It has been only 6 days since we met but it feels like I have known her forever.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Another strong-willed Irish woman. My Kryptonite.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Stay tuned.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
