Jim and Emmy's Writing gems
The eye can see and
The heart can love,
What the word cannot describe.
=======================
Sweetie's headstone tells the story of her life, it states:
“Now the Angels have a Role Model.”
(Forest Lawn, Hollywood Hills)
=======================
As we ate dinner in the Chateau Lake Louise, we agreed the view from our table, of the teal blue lake, mountains, and glaciers, was the most scenic dinner view we have experienced.
I told my Sweetie, “If you think that view is spectacular, you should see the enchanting, delectable, heavenly view I see at most every meal! No you certainly are not a glacier, but wow, speaking of mountain peaks, … !“
(Lake Louise, Canada)
=======================
I was in the Army at an IBM School in
Indianapolis, Ind. Most weekends
I went AWOL to see my Sweetie in Chicago.
Imagine my pride to see this
Beautiful Lady rushing toward me
with a beautiful beaming smile, just for me.
She said that I was so happy to see her at the station.
To be happy each time I met my beloved Sweetie
was the easiest thing I ever did.
=======================
Remember all the time you spent on frivolous things like eating and sleeping, when you could been hugging and kissing.
=======================
Darling Emmy, You've always been the greatest, and always will be.
=======================
When my Sweetie complained about my narrow taste in food, politics, books, etc., I just reminded her of my extremely narrow taste in Women.
=======================
I won my Sweetie! No Diploma or Peace Treaty would ever be worth as much as that Marriage License!
=======================
One time I gambled and doubled my money. The problem was, I only bet a nickel.
=======================
A Sweetie shopping delay, was a synonym for momentary.
=======================
A selective memory is a great thing. I can't tell you much about it, since I have one, I can't remember what it is.
=======================
For better or worse, most everybody agrees that in both its positive and its negative connotations, my word is accurate. My word? Curious!
=======================
I had an awful ache in my back, in the muscle just above my wallet. (True.) I thought it must be from reaching for it so often. Sweetie thinks the soreness is because my wallet muscle just hasn't been exercised enough.
=======================
When Sweetie was shopping, my rule was; “If my Sweetie wants it, I will buy it.
=======================
Sweetie said, “I feel much better,” and I said, “I'll be the judge of that, let me check. This may take a few minutes.”
=======================
Sweetie was tired, grass was green, water was wet, what else is new, and she was exasperated and exhausted.
=======================
Sweetie's gray-hairs aren't only from being out of touch with her hairdresser for too many weeks.
=======================
As I sat near her Hospital bed, Sweetie said, “This must be awful boring for you.” I responded, “It ain't boring, you're my Sweetie.”
=======================
What is the difference between a cane and a walking stick? Answer, “Twenty years.”
=======================
Sweetie won the prize for best performance in the middle of the Panama Canal. But just a hint-- I was judge, jury and participant.
=======================
Our house was turquoise with white trim. Our Plymouth station wagon was turquoise and white. Sweetie wore a turquoise dress so often she called it her uniform. I knew what Sweetie liked. I painted the house, I bought the car, I selected the dress.
=======================
I was a “Generalist” not a “Specialist.” I liked to do a little of this and a little of that. If I did a job twice, I wanted it to be because I did it wrong the first time. Not just because it was Tuesday again.
=======================
I am lucky that the only really, for real, actual, ridiculous item Sweetie ever wanted, was me.
=======================
If you cut a tree, plant a tree. If you dig a hole, fill a hole. When you buy a car deposit money to get rid of it years from now. (Me, in Third Grade, mid 1930s)
=======================
There's good news - there's a lady in the hot tub without her bra. And there's bad news - I need one as much as she does!
=======================
Linda asked, “Since I was born in Dallas, does that mean I am a Texan?” I replied, “If you were born in a barn would that mean you are a cow?”
=======================
Our Wedding Anniversaries were celebrated in 54 different Restaurants in Six states, Five countries, Three cruise ships.
=======================
Sweetie was addicted to me, was never allergic to me. Her name was spelled Emmy, she never expressed enmity.
=======================
We celebrated my Sweetie's birthday on 12345670.
Jan 2, 2003, at 4:56. Her 70th.
=======================
"I don't care if my thumb hurts when I hit it with a hammer, because I expect it to hurt. But I don't like this idea that I feel so many different ways, on many different days, or even different hours, with no known reason."
=======================
I told my Doctor, “How do I know if I am feeling as I should, I’ve never been this age before”
=======================
The best diagnosis for my physical problem is “eightyitis.”
