Fancy Shirts and Gardens

She cannot thread a needle
       or sew a fancy shirt
     Her fingers know not gardens
       or digging in the dirt

     But she listens to me patiently
       asks about my day
     Perhaps our home looks lived-in
       ~ I like it just that way

Gershon love this theme of yours. Some wives have many talents some don't. That is ok. My wife has two Sewing machines brand new in the box and has never used either one. Go figure. She loves to cook every once in a while but when she does it is great. I just accept her for who she is and she accepts me for who I am, it is a good deal for both. This one is a favorite for your honesty and love for your wife. God bless you... and your lovely wife...

Lived in and Loved in sounds like bliss to me, Gershon.

I'm with you, Shirley: Absolute nirvana! Relax, lay back, enjoy each other's company. That's what I say! :) gw
