Judi - I read your post yesterday and didn't even notice! Duh! We are on the same page! My Wednesdays are about as programmed as Cal's Tuesdays - I have errands to run at the shops this morning, and then I'll catch the 2:35 train to Stafford for my "Day with Dylan" tomorrow. It's been two weeks this time, since they were away last week, and my friend was here. We'll have lots to catch up on. The sun is shining right now, but I can see the dark clouds looming on the horizon, so probably by the time I try to bike to the train station, it will be pouring.

I'm still in a bit of a funk from the play last night. The story involved a love affair that couldn't continue - for complicated reasons - so the woman gave up the man - made him think she didn't love him any longer. He was destroyed by it - and so was she. Makes me wonder - how many of us have had a really wonderful/passionate love affair - either with DH or with someone else? And is it as painful/wonderful as it always seems in stories? Since I started dating DH when I was 15 - and he's just always been there - I feel like I've missed out on having a really exciting relationship. I'm not complaining about a wonderful, supportive, comfortable life - but.....? If you feel like sharing - I know of only one couple in a long-term marriage who still act like newly-weds, and I wonder how they do it.

Okay - enough True Confessions for today. I must get out and about. Hope you all have a great day - Rosemary

Wow, we're deep today, but I know what you mean. Dh was the 2nd guy I ever dated. We've talked about our relationship being comfortable, like an old shoe! lol! Is he my soul mate? I don't know, but we have shared so many ups and downs. And is there such a thing as one soul mate for each person? Lots of interesting questions you've uncovered, Rosemary.

Hugs, Darby

Wow, seems almost frivolous this time of the a.m. to speak of Love! I have dated others before I met DH, but my gosh, that's so many years ago and I honestly feel that I made the right choice. Let's see, I think it's 47 years for us this July, and many times I still feel like I'm on my honeymoon. We do get along great--honestly! We both look at each other at times and wonder how we grew so old so fast though................Bea

P. S. Should I add, just to spice things up a little--that I was engaged to somebody else, and when DH came along and I fell madly in love with him we took my engagement ring from the other guy and tossed it into the river!

Well I guess Im not the right person to ask..having been married so many time..but I can tell you I thought my 2nd marrigae was the for ever after one..he left me for a younger woman..that does horrible things to your self esteem!!!And I waited 9 years inbetween the first and 2nd...but my dh Earl is the best one..he is kind and caring and treats me like I should have been treated all a long...and at this age a good comfortable marrige is the best..hugs Judi

Rosemary I wish for you and your dh the same passion that

Vern and I still feel for each other, he still calls me

his bride and tells everyone that we meet that we are still

on our honeymoon. I realize now days that is very odd but

our passion is what has kept us sane at insane times. I don't

think I believe in affairs, but sometimes I know that somethings

happen for the best. I would just lay it out and tell the dh

sweetie I love you, but I need some real passion and some damn

good s*x LOL. We all need passion even at 63. Betty hugs
