Your humor shines in this one Sara. Sixty-five years is an eternity sometimes. Clever and twisty. :)

Linda, well, the years sometimes speed by and again they very slowly. It has been hard at times, easy at times and sometimes exasperating but we hung in there and it all worked out in the long run. Thanks for the visit. Sara K

It reminds me of my grandfather who at an old age still had a form of jealousy.

John, I think we all have some jealousy, and it is probably a built-in quality for our protection, but it can become too much and very dangerous. The Bible says our God is a jealous God and He has the right to be jealous of His people when they go astray. Since, we as His people were made in His image, we have the same qualities as He has, hence the jealousy. Sara K

IE, Valentine's Day was about the same as any other day. My husband had some teeth pulled and was aiming to get some new upper dentures and he did get them the day before Valentine's Day. We did go out that day which was our Valentine's Day out. He is still adjusting to his teeth. It will be six months before he gets his permanent plate. Sara K

Thank you, Andrea. Yes, sometimes marriage can become a drag, bore, or any of those things like those. Your visits are always uplifting. I gave him three pieces of Russell Stover's fancy chocolate. He must have eaten it. I hear him snoring..LOL...Sara K

Thank you, Victor. I am glad you enjoyed the whole enchilada. What would an enchilada be without the filling and the topping. Sara K

Yes, Valentine's Day is just another day here. LOL..I can't remember if my husband gave me anything after our first married Valentine's Day or not. I don't think so. I do a little something extra for him. I used to bake him a chocolate cake with red hot hearts candy on the top. Thanks for the visit. Sara K
