I’m just about worn out from all the celebratin’ we had going on here at my assisted living home for the holidays. The dining hall was lit up real pretty and everyone was in a festive mood.

 
My daughter, Tessa, wanted to celebrate New Year’s with me but I wouldn’t have it. She was here for Christmas and that was good enough. Besides, I didn’t want her and her husband, Orville, on the road on a dangerous night like that. She’s so sweet though, bless her heart.

On New Year’s eve, there were fireworks at dusk over the fountain in the man-made lake. Of course, no one would have made it to midnight.

There was a bit of fireworks over at Melba’s place right after. It looks like Willie was a bit disoriented and wound up at Melba’s place. What made it hilarious was that Willie wouldn’t get out of her bed and kept saying, “Come to bed, Honey.” At 91 years young, I think Willie was confused about how well his willie was going to do. Everyone had a good laugh about it and Melba’s dignity was restored the next day.

When all that happened, I recalled an article I had read when I was younger about Love and Marriage.

Here’s what I remember from it ….

Love & Marriage
 
Love is holding hands in the street.


Marriage is holding arguments in the street.



Love is dinner for 2 in your favorite restaurant
.

Marriage is a take home box.



Love is cuddling on a sofa.


Marriage is one of them sleeping on a sofa.



Love is talking about having children.


Marriage is talking about how to get away from children.



Love is going to bed early.


Marriage is going to sleep early.



Love is a romantic drive.


Marriage is never making it into the car for a drive.



Love is losing your appetite.


Marriage is losing your figure.



Love is sweet nothings’ in the ear.


Marriage is sweet nothing in the bank.



Love is never watching TV.


Marriage is a fight for the remote control.



Love is 1 drink and 2 straws.


Marriage is “Don’t you think you’ve had enough!”.



Conclusion:

”Love is blind, Marriage is an eye opener!!!”

Hope your year 2015 is a good one ….
Live Life
Hugs, Mabel
