When the sun shines so do I.

Ruthie J Cassettari @DearAphrodite (194) 21 Nov 20

It happens every year. I would think I would get used to it. I have felt sluggish and was asking myself why. Then like every year the lightbulb went on in the noggin. Oh, yeah it's been grey, cloudy, cold, and snowing the last few...

You are always getting to know each other.

Ruthie J Cassettari @DearAphrodite (194) 6 Nov 20

It's hard for me to believe my husband and I have been married going on eight years and together for ten. Still, we keep teaching each other new things and find out new stuff about each other. My husband wasn't aware of the...

Hurry up and wait

Ruthie J Cassettari @DearAphrodite (194) 30 Oct 20

Patience is not my virtue. I have been on hold for two hours and I see it being another two or more hours before this government agency picks up to answer my five-minute question. I do my best not to get frustrated at how much of...

Ruthie J Cassettari @DearAphrodite (194) 25 Oct 20

Always the black sheep

Ruthie J Cassettari @DearAphrodite (194) 25 Oct 20

It never ceases to amaze me how people that know nothing about you automatically come up with who they think you are just by how you look or who your married to. Even though you would think after being with my husband for 9 years...

Ruthie J Cassettari @DearAphrodite (194) 19 Oct 20
