Chatty, Humlan, Dotsie...thanks so much for such sweet remarks. Yes, I know how lucky I am and how blessed my life with Larry is. Today I had lunch with my MIL and 3 SIL's. Two were talking about their frustrations with their hubands (the 3rd not married) and when it came for my time Cindy said, "she never complains because he doesn't have anything to complain about." I never thought about it but she's right as far as my marriage goes. It made me even more thankful for having found Larry. But, I know there are lots of good men and husbands who have wonderful wives and their marriages are good. Dotsie it sounds like you have a wonderful man and Humlan your man is working with you...that's half the battle, I think...having a partner who wants to make a difference and who shows you have your feelings mean something to him.
