Golly, Mark. What a sweet story. Reminds me a bit of O.Henry. I loved this line: "We had worn the rough edges off each other and learned to get along." That is exactly what it takes.

As always, you make me smile.

The last story... I wonder how far she'd run if her husband asked her to join him at his urology appointment on Valentine's Day. 🥴 *My plans. #LongTimeMarried

🤣 Thanks, Michele. I get it. I have been married for 42 years. Valentine's Day is a "Hallmark holiday" anyway. Staying together year after year is real love and life. 🤓

42 years! Wow. I don't need to tell you. So you understand why I consider it romantic when my husband unclogs the toilet.

Thank you, C.L. The Last time I played hockey was in a neighbor's backyard when I was a kid. They used to flood their yard in the winter to make an ice rink. I was a lousy ice skater. 🤣
