Still Learning After All These Years
Greg and I went to a service Sunday evening which honored forty couples who have each been married 50 or more years, my parents being one of the couples.
Inspired by their list of secrets to a long marriage, Greg jotted this list on the back of a tithing envelope and handed it to me:
1) Learn to say "I'm sorry."
2) Learn to say "Yes, dear."
3) Learn to say, "No, those clothes don't make you look fat."
4) Always put the toilet seat down.
I observed that he didn't add, "Don't drop your dirty clothes on the floor."
He said that was what he was going to learn in the NEXT 32 years of marriage - - - - -

Ha! One step at a time I guess, but the toilet seat is a very important lesson, at least he's got that!
That means that by the time you reach your 50th, he'll be perfect, right? Won't that be boring?
Don't they have all the answers!!!! Ha!!!
LOL Char - - - I wonder what boring would be like!?!
May we live long enough to find out!
Here's my new spring identity.
What about this one --- notice the trash is overflowing and do something about it???
Yes Kathy - - - he'll need to ADD that one in the next 32 years also!!!!
Char - - - love the new avatar - - - VERY spring. Crocuses
You're everywhere! I can't even go out to eat anymore. :)
Hey - - - are you saying you're trying to STAY AWAY from me???? What did I do to become a social pariah????
I was HAPPY to see you - - - -
No, I'm NOT saying that. It's just interesting that someone I didn't know existed until blog world is now showing up everywhere in the real world. Funny how that happens.
It's a plot - - - I'm stalking you!!!
