Meal, a Movie, and a Date

A date with my Hubby is an amazing and a most wondrous thing… It starts with the McDonald’s Dollar menu and then we grab and run, I say! Then we’re off to the local Laundromat where the movie begins the fun. Watching the wash, rinse, and spin cycle, keeps us glued all afternoon, to the fun! And how do they insert those commercials, anyway, when the cycles change? But this is all beside the point… on this: our Meal, Movie, and an illustrious Date. And NO! He’s not a cheap skate… as by now you might have been about to think… He’s helping me do my chores, and is beside me, all the way, making it rather fun! How you ask, can this be fun? It’s in the time: we spend, while away, and what’s begun… You see, I’ve a pen and paper, to write down funny poem ideas, that will come, what may! What! You thought I made them all up… in front of my computer… and all alone each day? Really folks, I’m not that good, so as to keep making all them up… When I’m all alone! I call this my little café spree, which was tailored just for me… They are so very riveting! As I try to simply, write down everything…I bounce off of him, and he does bounce off me… Laughter fills the air, and smiles creep in, don’t you see? And I bet you just can’t wait, my friends! To see what we’ll do next… In a meal, a movie, and a Date… On our café sprees! Carol Eastman and Hubby 1-29-2014 For Contest: Cafe Musings

it's wonderful that you can find fun in simplicity. i think of that as one of the prime duties of a wife. i learned a little about being humbled. but i keep thinking about your soup mail to me. at times like these it's good to have each other. HEY thats my next piece "it's good to have each other". and yes i just wrote it down.
