Mrs. Jim at the school--for Grandparents Day 2015 [grammar school, KP now starts High School in August] |
Things that make the Mrs. Happy
I asked my wife to tell me SOME things
Gave her little pad and a pen
and asked her to give me a list
"a list of things that make me happy"
Was I surprised? Was I?
Well, not exactly, they were all things,
things that I DO now, Me.
I am so very privileged,
That list alone makes me happy and
I am glad that I faired fairly well
I'm going to show you the list now
p.s. if she thought of some more just tell
(an Aside: When I first started writing
my other blog, one of the things I told
my readers was that I gave my wife
an ANUAL EVALUTATION. Woo Hoo)
Here is her list:
- Time together
- Walks
- Cuddling at night and good night kisses
- Remembering over fun things, or times
we enjoyed together
- Courtesy of a gentleman
- Helping to make up bed in the morning
- Watching TV of show we both like
Wasn't that nice, she had decided to involve
me with everyone--I hope she didn't
misunderstand that just list SOME THINGS
You can tell that number one on her list
is the very first thing that she listed, "together"
All the other fit it well, her saying since
COVID came along, "We are joined at the Hip"
Which are my THREE FAVORITES of these? Any one
could be, I enjoy our walks the most, we have
a pleasant parklike place to walk complete with
paved walking trails, streams, water throughout
with ducks, cranes, and birds of all sorts. And
then there's the turtles and walking bridges, lots
of trees, small playgrounds with swings and slides
along the way. And of course, WE TALK.
Next I'll tell of the making of the bed
Generally one of us gets up first, that person
starts the coffee if she or I think the other might
arise fairly soon. IF SO, that person last up MAKES.
(p.s. Some times the first up gets up at a terribly
early time. I generally make a cup of hot chocolate
and a piece of raisin bread with creme cheese and
strawberry jam to tide me over until coffee time
She makes hot chocolate with a graham cracker
and perhaps some peanut butter
and the Third HAS TO BE cuddling and stuff
I wasn't told the birds and bees from my parents
I learned it all in high school and perhaps a little of
what comes naturally and morally around a girl with
mutual likes
That started in the first grade, we didn't have
kindergarten, when the other girl in first grade
invited me to sit down in the storm cellar steps
Well, the Mrs. and I have very mutual likes!!!
I love my wife dearly, I pray to for my life to
be as long calendar wise as hers, I'm sad and almost tear
to think it won't
We are old
All this and more walking trails are
within three-mile radius our home:

I think you make her very happy, Jim! But then she is a lucky woman if you help her to make the bed in the morning, and with coffee. I wish my husband would go for more walks with me, I’m always walking on my own, and give me more cuddles!
It is so lovely that you share the same likes and your piem is written in such a fun mode.
Happy you dropped by my blog.
Much💚love
The two of you ~~ how blessed.
Now that what I'd call "happily married"...sweet!!
Happiness together.❤️
How lovely, Jim! I so enjoyed this. Made for each other you both are. May you both always be happy.
And thank you always for visiting my blog and leaving such lovely comments.

Jim this is a true love poem - thanks for sharing, stay happy ❤️
What a lovely pair! Here's to more of what makes you both happy!
You are privileged Dr Jim having Mrs Jim all of yourself organized in her mind. Things will be smooth sailing without a doubt!

Yes, treasure every moment. I have been blessed with another wonderful husband after losing my first. I am truly so lucky!
I wish you many more years together, Jim. This is beautiful, and so are you.
Much love,
