Love is Growing Old Together


Happy Valentine's Day!!! (better late than never, hehe)

Here's something very special that I want my hubby to read.  The catching word here is "together".  I believe that togetherness makes all the relationship steadfast and blessed.
You, too can post it to your sweetheart out there.

Love Is Growing Old Together
 “I want to grow old with you,
lose count of the sunsets we share,
stroll along a moonlit beach,
always holding hands
and looking into each other’s eyes
with deep love and longing.
I want to sleep every night
with you at my side,
hearing your soft breathing
and with your scent and warmth
to lull me to dreamland.
I want to wake up and feel you
asleep in the crux of my arm
and know you are my best friend,
my lover
my soul mate forever.”  - anonymous

What Not to Do with pictures

Now I know what not to do with my class pictures.....


Looking Back on Photos

The children had all been photographed, and the teacher was trying to persuade them each to buy a copy of the group picture. "Just think how nice it will be to look at it when you are all grown up and say, 'There's Jennifer; she's a lawyer,' or 'That's Michael, he's a doctor.'"

A small voice from the back of the room rang out, "And there's the teacher; she's still old, nasty, and wrinkled".

Men vs. Women

When God created men and women, he designed each gender to have its own distinct qualities.....each to have a different  view about doing things,etc... The following differences between men and women really are very true. I have just realized the statements about "BATHROOMS", "SHOES",  and "DRESSING UP" apply to me and my hubby...lol

NICKNAMES: If Gloria, Suzanne, Debra and Michelle go out for lunch, they will call each other Gloria, Suzanne, Debra and Michelle. But if Mike, Phil, Rob and Jack go out for a brewsky, they will affectionately refer to each other as Fat Boy, Godzilla, Peanut-Head and Useless.

EATING OUT: And when the check comes, Mike, Phil, Rob and Jack will each throw in $20 bills, even though it's only for $22.50. None of them will have anything smaller, and none will actually admit they want change back. When the girls get their check, out come the pocket calculators.

BATHROOMS: A man has six items in his bathroom-a toothbrush, shaving cream, razor, a bar of Dial soap, and a towel from the Holiday Inn. The average number of items in the typical woman's bathroom is 437. A man would not be able to identify most of these items.

GROCERIES: A woman makes a list of things she needs and then goes out to the store and buys these things. A man waits till the only items left in his fridge are half a lime and a soda. Then he goes grocery shopping. He buys everything that looks good. By the time a man reaches the checkout counter, his cart is packed tighter than the Clampett's car on Beverly Hillbillies. Of course, this will not stop him from going to the 10-items-or-less lane.

SHOES: When preparing for work, a woman will put on a Mondi wool suit, then slip on Reebok sneakers. She will carry her dress shoes in a plastic bag from Saks. When a woman gets to work, she will put on her dress shoes. Five minutes later, she will kick them off because her feet are under the desk. A man will wear the same pair of shoes all day.

CATS: Women love cats. Men say they love cats, but when women aren't looking, men kick cats.

DRESSING UP: A woman will dress up to: go shopping, water the plants, empty the garbage, answer the phone, read a book, get the mail. A man will dress up for: weddings, funerals.

LAUNDRY: Women do laundry every couple of days. A man will wear every article of clothing he owns, including his surgical pants that were hip about eight years ago, before he will do his laundry. When he is finally out of clothes, he will wear a dirty sweatshirt inside out, rent a U-Haul and take his mountain of clothes to the Laundromat. Men always expect to meet beautiful women at the Laundromat. This is a myth perpetuated by re-runs of old episodes of "Love, American Style."

OFFSPRING: Ah, children. A woman knows all about her children. She knows about dentist appointments and soccer games and romances and best friends and favorite foods and secret fears and hopes and dreams. A man is vaguely aware of some short people living in the house.

A Firm Christian Believer

So, what can we do with a little boy's belief that is so firm and Christian? I found this story in my hubby's email today which made me realized how  kids are so pure and innocent. Read on....

A little boy was afraid of dark. One night his mother told him to go out to the back porch and bring her the broom. The little boy turned to his mother and said, "Mama, I don't want to go out there. It's dark."

The mother smiled reassuringly at her son. you don't have to be afraid of the dark," she explained. "Jesus is out there He'll look after you and protect you."

The little boy looked at his mother real hard and asked, "Are you sure he's out there?"

"Yes, I'm sure . He is everywhere, and he is always ready to help you when you need him." she said.

The little boy thought about that for a minute and then went to the back door and cracked it a little. Peering out into the darkness, he called, "Jesus? If you're out there, would you please hand me the broom?"

Dinner Date and Disgrace


Hoss met his close friend Rich for guidance, and 
narrated to him that he recently met the girl of 
his dreams. He asked Richard advise as to how 
should he proceed now!

The wise Rich said, "Well, send her roses, and on 
the name card invite her for a home-cooked 
meal."

Hoss liked the idea, so he followed Rich's advice 
and invited the woman.

Next day after the dinner Rich called Hoss and 
asked him how did the home-cooked dinner go. 

Hoss cried, "It flopped."

Rich asked, "Why? Didn't the girl come to your house?"

Hoss said, "She came, but she refused to cook and 
left angrily!"

Cleanliness Can Bring Trouble

The Bride

The bride was anything but a tidy housekeeper. It didn't bother her much until one evening when her husband called from the hall, somewhat dismayed: "Honey, what happened to the dust on this table? I had a phone number written on it."

Messy Husband

Here's a story about a messy husband. It's sad the "wife" who always complained about his being messy didn't still know why he left...lol

Messy Husband
A woman said to her friend, "I don't know what to do. My husband is such a mess maker that you can't imagine. He doesn't put anything in its place, I am always going around the house organizing things." 

The friend says, "Take a tip from me. The first week after we were married I told my husband firmly, 'Every glass and plate that you take, wash when you are done and put back in its place.'" 

The first woman asked, "Did it help?" 

Her friend said, "I don't know. I haven't seen him since."
