This last week has brought a lot of reflecting and lots of sharing between Jon and I. Either he has learned to act a lot better or I am still of use to the sweet ole' guy.We are now officially on our second round of being "newly weds" and living on our food storage and cinched up our belts. Jon has suggested two notches. He doesn't realize we have already cinched past that preparing for the "just in case" scenario. Isn't he too cute and funny, I do love my funny hubby!
That may sound discouraging, but it isn't. Give me a break, it's the first day. We used to ,get some silly idea and be out the door in 20 minutes, or less to have some great free or really cheap fun . . . . no movies were ever dreamed of, not even matinees. I could pack a picnic lunch in no time! Jon's folks gave us money to go out on our second anniversary and we were so uncomfortable we didn't know what to do with ourselves . . . until ran into a family we knew from church and thoroughly enjoyed ourselves. Tonight's hot date is Jon watching football with his head on my lap, kind of, snuggling with two chihuahuas and me blogging before I send out the food storage info to my ward members. He just unknowly corrected me, he said he is "having quality time with his dog that just growled at him". Shall I let him read this before or after I post it? I think after , he doesn't know how to take it off to preserve his dignity.
We were eating our food storage, but back then we didn't realize how little of it we had. Now, we have to walk around it no matter what room we are in. I did have more in bottles, but we didn't have a freezer. I knew 3-4 ways to fix beans, now I have too many to count and the Internet.
Now our biggest problem is how not to over feed our bottoms, not how to grow healthy babies. We now have grown children with good ideas and we can share and work together to make things work, like cars ;-D, taxi service, grocery shopping, splitting stuff so that we can use up larger, cheaper quantities and have nothing go bad.
So time to throw out the lemonade and bring on the lemon chiffon pie. Sure glad I froze up all those lemons last winter!

Yes, yes, bring on the pie! (figuratively speaking...)
I know what you mean. Curtis' last day was Friday. He is now home every day. I love where my marriage is at this stage of our life. After 34 years...wow! It is exciting, romantic, and wonderful!
I think you have just created a new and improved lemon saying. I love it!
And I LOVE that picture of you two!
