I love old fashioned courtesy. I love a man who takes off his hat when he greets a woman, who opens the door for her, and who gets up from his chair when his wife leaves the table. But if I can’t have that, I at least want a man who doesn’t pass gas when…
How is this possible? Am I really married for as long as 30 years? 30th wedding anniversary When I look at our wedding picture, we look so young. I can’t help but think: ‘Yeah you’re smiling now, but you don’t know what lies ahead!’ And then I think of losing our daughter Lucy….. But…
My husband likes doing things by halves. Even though a job is only half done. My husband likes to do things by halves For example: he has no problem mowing part of the lawn, and then declare: ‘I’m gonna take a break! I’ll do the rest later.’ His favorite answer when I ask him to…

When my husband came home from work last Friday, coughing and sniffling pathetically, I told him to keep his distance! I even did that gesture….
Whenever my kids stumble, I like to catch them, and declare in solemn tones: ‘I’ve got you. Mommy’s got you!’ And I can only hope, that when they’ve become adults, and they trip and fall on the troublesome path that is life, I’ll still be there saying: ‘I’ve got you.’ But who’s got me? But…
