Well, what fun would it be if it was always smooth sailing? Sometimes ya just gotta rock that boat to get a new reaction.

That's very true. We all need to have our lives spiced up a bit from time to time.

You are a very nice looking couple, Judy! Everybody has problems from time to time. Sometimes they can be worked out and sometimes somebody just has to ignore whatever bothered them. *grinning at you* If you're not the tolerant one, does that mean Vince is the angel in your relationship?

I hope neither of you bites too hard... you still want to be able to talk and eat without pain.

I take Pretty along when I go to the doctor, I always forget to tell the doctor things she should know. Pretty speaks up and tells her for me when I forget.

@DaddyEvil That's a good idea. Official meetings can have a paralysing effect on the brain sometimes.

I think we would both say that we often have to bite our tongues!!

But we muddle along and now we're older, we look out for each other even more. It takes two of us to function nowadays - trying to remember stuff, etc.

I didn't think of that. I meant to add it signified a box of chocolates.

But I like the thought of being a star better.

Vince sets the camera up with a ten-second delay, presses the button and dashes back to sit beside me and we do our best to look relaxed and unflurried.

That is a really nice picture of the 2 of you. Vince is so committed to the challenges with the photo submissions, I suppose that is what keeps his mind open to new ideas to photograph.
