~Love~

I got the cutest joke in email that I had to smile.

I quote "Christians have only one wife, its called

Monotony"... I believe the word is monogamous or

something like that.. Monotony means BORING. Or

the same thing over and over again... Which I have

to say, my parents celebrated 56 years and I have

to add, were in love with each other as much as they

were when they got married. They showed it daily

to each other, which when you love someone you

should.. It should be so easy to look at that person

and say "I love you". All the times I went home I

saw that in them.. Not one day went by that they

didn't tell each other "I love you". and sometimes

more than once.
Mom would walk past my dad to get to her side of

the table where they sat and played solitaire, when

she did she would lovingly pat him on the shoulder

or run her hand across them, sometimes leaning over

to kiss him on the cheek. He did the same to her.

I grew up with this shown to me and It was nice to see

that at 80 years old their love never died. In fact I

think once my sister and I moved away, me to PA and

her to Hawaii, they became even closer.

Many times she would go fishing with him and sit in the

car or on a picnic table and wait for him, when he got

back she would have a little snack and always a thermos

of coffee for them. I still have their picnic basket. She

kept it packed, In fact I havent even emptied it.. All is

still in it.. From the cups to silverware, even a small bottle

with tooth picks :-) It was a well prepared basket. :-)
Every ride they took, no matter how long it was they had

a snack and usually at some of the most beautiful places,

they would talk and enjoy the day. Whomever visited

them, they would take on a ride with the basket along.

I sometimes wish I had found a love like that, that I

could have spent my whole lifetime in love with them,

enjoying every day, I think that's why once my Dad

was gone, Mom had such a hard time to adjust, and

only NOW being alone so much I KNOW just how

hard it was for her, had to have been a million times

harder to be with out the love of her life.

Love is good for you no matter who you get it from

and the more people that love you the better you

feel..at least I do.. My boy came over last night and

hes miserable being alone, he hates sleeping alone,

I guess me, I'm used to it now after almost 10 years,

but then again, If my knight in shining Armour showed

up, well.. I just might climb on that horse with him and

ride off into the sunset :-) So.. maybe the true love of

my life is still out there, who knows ? :-) I will wait,

he may have a bad sense of direction, or the horse

does :-)

Lunch time and Penny is making us some brats. There

is a store by here that has over 20 different kind.

And all homemade ! AND, ALL GOOD !! :-) I havent

tried them all but, well go look, Sand Lake Party Store,
