In Trenna’s iPad she has written summaries of each year. As you will see from what she has written she has gleaned the information retrospectively from a wide range of sources.
As I reproduce them on this site I’ll take the opportunity to clarify and expand on some of the stories. Trenna wrote these summaries (and there are many of them) to help her and I recall our many experiences. It was probably … Read the rest ... “1988”
This is the fourth and final chapter in this brief love story. The first part is here.

As usual Trenna was ready to go when I pulled my Toyota Corolla Station Wagon into her driveway in Girrawheen. Unfortunately Girrawheen was the exact opposite direction to our final destination but I was so happy that she had agreed to go with me I couldn’t have cared less about the travel.

I almost stuffed the whole thing up about a week later.
Just think, the 30 best years of my life may have been completely different. This website would have never existed….

I’m very keen for this website to be an accurate representation, or at least sample, of Trenna’s life.
So if I become aware of an error, I will try to correct it.
I discovered one recently when I was working on a soon to be published story about Trenna and my earliest days together.

Here is a special bonus post, because it is Palm Sunday today. Neither Trenna nor I were religious, but there is a story related to this day that Trenna and I always remembered.
I got together with Trenna at the very start of 1988, so our relationship was very young. I’m pretty sure by that stage we hadn’t said the word LOVE in a sentence to each other.
The Cold … Read the rest ... “A Burger with a Peace Rally, and a Watch on the Side”
