Praise Indeed


My grandparents are pretty amazing.

1. They have been married 69 years.
2. They have visited 49/50 States in America.
3. My grandfather survived a seven-way valve bypass on his heart.
4. My grandmother once saved my grandfather's life by breathing for him until help arrived.
5. My grandfather could pick up the front of a car. Any car.
6. My grandfather has driven over 1 million miles.
7. My grandfather once scared away a grizzly bear by clapping his hands and walking towards it.
8. At age 90, my grandfather does push-ups, leg lifts, hand grips and 100 petals on a bike daily (even though he's in a wheelchair).
9. My grandparents played ping pong regularly into their 70s.
10. I've never heard them raise their voices - to me or to each other.
11. They built their home by hand 50 years ago and are still living in it today.

6 No Nos


I recently read this article called 6 No Nos for Relating to Your Man. I think the advice is sound and appreciate the reminder. Definitely worth a read if you are a married woman!

Go Thither

I've mentioned before that my husband and I speak different languages. Oh sure, we both use the English language, but our words mean very different things! For example, on his blog he says things like, "The children array contains the list of child namespaces. This can be convenient since child namespaces are stored in their parent namespace alongside all the other stuff". Faithful readers to this blog will note a subtle difference:

Student: How did you change the camera exposure on the fly like that?
Me: I turned the little dial.
Student: Which dial?
Me: Oh, you know - the one on top, next to the Thing. Next question!
(from Class, Please Welcome MrsMama)

It's a good thing that love transcends language barriers. Or, for an analogy that my husband would appreciate:

Love is like pi - natural, irrational, and very important. --Lisa Hoffman

Like She Said

I really appreciated reading Jeana's recent Valentine Day post on her blog, Days to Come. It was a timely reminder on how I should view/treat my husband. Thanks Jeana!
