Remembering...

the ups and downs of a life time.

We looked back yesterday and remembered, the good and the bad.  Hubby woke me a minute after midnight to wish me happy anniversary.  It's always been a game with us to say it first.  I gifted him yesterday's post. 

We didn't do anything special.  We were just together. 

Our union has produced two wonderful daughters and three grandsons, all of whom we are very proud.

Our joining has also produced much laughter, a few tears, great fun and a long life together.  Some days it was touch and go but so goes life.  We were both too stubborn to give up and loved one another too much to stop. 

...and on we go.



Like A Cat On A Hot Tin Roof...

I used to say that a lot in the drawl of  Maggie.  It was such a dramatic play but I was too young to understand the undercurrents.   I would not have paced and drawled the phrase so much if I had understood the implications.  Tennesse Williams did an outstanding job with a play that is timeless in meaning. 

I still feel like a cat on a hot tin roof but not because I am sexually frustrated nor because I have a lot of anger.  It is because it is hotter than hell!

If jumping off the roof would help as suggested by Brick in the play, I would be gathering my muscles to jump.  Trouble is, it is as hot on the ground as it is on the roof!
