No Words

27 Jan

Back in September, 2016, The Squire put a piece of PVC pipe in the linen closet to hang up all of the spray bottles.  During dinner yesterday he spilled gravy on a white polo shirt, and asked me what to use to keep it from getting stained.

I told him we had several types of laundry pre-wash,  and made a “squeezing” motion with my hand. He trotted into the bathroom with the shirt, and when he returned he remarked, “It’s a good thing we understand each other.”

Sometimes, when you’ve been married as long as we have, there are no words necessary.

    I’m always amazed by how my mom can get what my dad is saying when he leaves half the words out

      Most of spend more time with our spouses than we did with our parents or siblings. After a while, you don’t really need words.

    That is why I admire your marriage to the Squire. Each of you completes the other.
