A Love Story to Emmy

Jim’s Favorite Writing Gems, Selected From the “Snippets Book”

I selected about forty phrases from the Snippet Book, that tell of my Love for my Beautiful Sweetie

==============================
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
The eye can see and the heart can love what the word cannot describe.
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
50th birthday, I had given her 50 tiny pieces of gold, and 50 small emeralds, in a glass vial, with a chain
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
a picture is worth a thousand words, a visit is worth a thousand pictures, the video is priceless.
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
appealed to Emmy’s spirit of adventure, as modified by her gumption for walking. She demands some reasonable association between effort and excitement,
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
applause we heard was for my Sweetie as she descended the ladder. Do you wonder who led the applause?
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
As if I needed an excuse to grab hold, and embrace my Sweetie. When I squeeze my Sweetie I always hear bells and chimes,
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
awful ache in my back, in the muscle just above my wallet. (True.) I thought it must be from reaching for it so often. Emmy thinks the soreness is because my wallet muscle just hasn’t been exercised enough
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
Emmy said, “I would like more color in the flower beds.” I suggested that if she walked through the garden, they would be much more colorful indeed.
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
If my Sweetie wants it, I will buy it.
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
Beautiful Lady — who rode a couple of busses to get to the station — rushing toward me with a beautiful beaming smile, just for me
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
To be happy each time I met my beloved Sweetie was the easiest thing I ever did
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
could have spent my life with her in a phone booth, that’s all the space I needed — the closer to my Sweetie, the better.
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
couldn’t find her, then spotted her surrounded by a half-dozen of her old classmates — all male!
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
Emmy said, “I feel much better,” and I said, “I’ll be the judge of that, let me check, this may take a few minutes.”
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
Emmy was tired, grass was green, water was wet, what else is new, and she was exasperated and exhausted.
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
Emmy’s gray-hairs aren’t only from being out of touch with her hairdresser for too many weeks.
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
Emmy’s schedule (beds didn’t need to be made, dishes didn’t need washed) was such that she could go along
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
for many years, I never left my beautiful Bunkmate for even a moment, unless absolutely unavoidable
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
she does serve very useful, and really delightfully curvy functions.
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
I remember all the time we spent on frivolous things like eating and sleeping, when we could have been hugging and kissing.
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
have had only one romance in my life, and nothing could compare to a life like that.
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
I’m the driver, she’s the cook, but cooking is the least important of her real duties, I mean her enjoyments!
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
idea of giving Emmy a necklace with exactly 70 stones, for her 70th birthday.
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
you should see the enchanting, delectable, heavenly view I see at most every meal!
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
never got to visit the Earthly Holy Land together. But we will be in the Heavenly Holy Land together, in the very near future.
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
was no room for safety rails. For Emmy, this was an hour of terror interrupted by moments of sheer panic.
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
plenty of guys who would love to help her with her shower, if she just came to our side of the facility
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
taking such good care of her. That made me proud, I tried, I’m glad it was obvious to others.
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
Emmy looked at the blank wall in the living room, and decided this was her “Sistine Chapel Ceiling.”
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
the end of that complaint! Not a taste for just any woman, a taste for the one and only, my beloved Sweetie.
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
This must be awful boring for you. I responded, “It ain’t boring, you’re my Sweetie.
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
what colors. What form. What beauty. And that was just Emmy in her swim suit.
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
won my Sweetie, and no diploma or peace treaty would ever be worth as much as that Marriage License!
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
would have helped Emmy hold down her skirt, but I was too busy leading the applause.
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
If, like Emmy, you have never met a Marché Aux Puces (flea market) you didn’t like, Paris is for you.
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
Mine said, “Darling Emmy, You’ve always been the greatest, and always will be. Happy 70th and love forever,
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
And that doesn’t even begin to describe my love affair with my Most Beautiful Sweetie
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
Name and picture catching, the everlasting joys of travel, an added reward for our years of travel.
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
I don't remember seeing a sign, but maybe I thought I was on a Scottish ferry and L-a-d-i-e-s spelled “Laddies.”
