| I have found a few definitions of what a tinner's rabbit is, but the best one I have so far is the one I feel inside...that I am a good luck charm to my tinner, and since a rabbit is someone who generally sets the pace, I thought that if I called myself a tinner's rabbit, I would be helping him set a pace for himself, and a pace for us as a couple, in good sport. First I would like to tell a little hair raising tale about how we met. |
| A Tinner's Rabbit... A Story of Good Fortune |
| Having been through divorce and dated a few guys, one day I decided to make a profile for one of those online services, choosing Match.Com. In the past, I had never considered anything like that for myself, but did suggest it once to a friend of mine and he found a wonderful woman in the area...three years later, they were still doing fine, so why not try it myself. I turned on my logicam, took a picture, and made my profile; within an hour or so I was contacted by someone called Dugel. After that, many more people wrote to me, but I only answered this one person. I just "knew" somehow that I didn't need to go any further. A couple of days before I made the profile, I copied and saved the little picture you see here, of the blue fence with the white picket fence in the background. I have learned not to question myself anymore, I consider myself " guided" these days, kinda' a go-with- the-flow thing. |

| I put that little blue fence picture on my computer on 11-17-03. I put my profile online andI met Patrick a few days later... The day after I met him, I took the picture (on the left) of the fencing in his back yard. The fencing, by the way, is B L U E. |
| We talked through the night and in the morning had coffee at a nearby cafe... I noticed we already had this "Wizard of Oz" thing going; he being a Tin Man... a favorite song, Somewhere Over the Rainbow, playing in my head and, a few minutes after starting on my huge cup of Hazelnut coffee, I see on the top shelf in the cafe...yep, a pair of red glittery shoes. "Nice set up, Big Guy." That's all I could say. This page is under construction. I am beginning to see that what I have to say is sometimes important because I live my life listening to something much bigger than myself, and I know that because I do listen, life is turning out much differently than I ever could have imagined. Others need to know that "good fortune" often comes in ways we least expect...sometimes we need to see and hear differently than others can or do. ...and, uh, red shoes (Conversely) didn't hurt in letting me know I was home. |

| Inside these shoes it says: "You don't need to be helped any longer... You have always had the power." |
| On the TinMan's heart are the words: "The heart is not judged by how much you love, but how much you are loved by others." |
