Anyone who has been to our home knows how spoiled I am.... I would have to be an idiot to screw this thing up.

What Ross said...
It took me 3 tries.. 2 marriges and a failed teen age romance.,..first one( marriage) was not all my fault.. I should have listened to my mother.. after 12 years she left me with 4 kids.. one of them 2 years old with chicken pox... 2 of them from her previous marriage... on that same line, I had an adorable girl in High school and a year beyond.. I did what I wanted and she complained.. to my mother and her father... both had a "talk "with me and in the end we both moved on...she came to my Mothers funeral 15 years ago..my mother was a seamstress and made every piece of clothing the woman owned ( she was extremly patite and small..)... she was still adorable. she married a plumber who treats her like the princess she is.... this brings me to the present... I am a lucky man...there is alot of give and take.. but as both of us are older and found each other later in life... we both realize there is no changing the other... our relationship unlike the early years is built on trust..insted of being driven by hormones and selfish wants.. comanionship and an understanding that one is not going to change the other....... we both makes sacrafices... we never argue..we always come to a comprmise we are both happy with.. she helps prep my boat every year and put it away in the fall... she almost never sets foot in it.. except to maybe put another coat of non skid on the deck.. she asks me after evry trip "how'd ya do?".. she really does care... the least I can do is grant her very few wishes...as Ross put it...I'd be an idiot to screw it up.
