I would like to say that Vince’s secret to a happy marriage is to find a wonderful wife but I guess that’s not how he feels about it. 🙂
He was out sawing on some pipe and he stopped to go meet the mail lady. He still had his earplugs around his neck and when he got back to the house, he was cracking up. I asked what was so funny.
He said “I told her that I found the secret to a happy marriage” (ear plugs) and he told her that he never takes them off.
Maybe that explains our “communication problem” — Vince keeps his earplugs in all day and truly has no idea what I’m saying.
Despite him not listening to me . . I think I’ll keep him! 🙂

Now that we’ve adjusted to retirement, every day gets better.

I retired last July and hubster has been work-at-home now for 10 weeks. Our biggest problem? I go to talk to him, and he’s working. I’ve finally learned not to interrupt him. I consider it a practice retirement. Except then, I can make more noise 🙂 We’re about to have our 40th anniversary. I think I’ll keep him 🙂
Judy Laquidara says
It’s so hard not to talk when they’re right there, even though you know they’re busy. Sometimes now Vince will be busy doing something and I know he doesn’t want to be interrupted and that’s when I think of a 1 million things to tell him.
I do think keeping him is a good idea – especially after 40 years. You probably have him almost trained by now. 🙂

My husband has a different technique. He comes in, sits down and as soon as I start talking to him he closes his eyes and goes to sleep. I say a few words & boom! he’s out. I wish that had worked on my kids when they were babies.

So funny, Judy!

Now THAT is a picture of a happy man! And earplugs or not, YOU are the reason he is happy. That picture just warms my heart!
Judy Laquidara says
Thanks! I can’t imagine life in a home that isn’t happy and doesn’t have lots of laughter.
