Ha! Love you too honey. Was that a test to see if I was going to read your post today? I win!

You are and always have been an inspiration. Keep challenging the status quo. You are the light in my life.

First let me say happy anniversary to you and Joe! Those pics were priceless. Got a link to the reality show that you and Joe appeared in?

My sister, Leslie read your stack before I did. She just KNEW you were referring to me when she read:

“one ‘pissed-off, childless, married woman of a certain age who didn’t do anything meaningful in her life until [Covid].’”

I didn’t share my submission with her so she will read it for the first time when she receives her book. Do I dare send a copy to our brothers????

So funny to see our pic posted on your website. Leslie is a very talented maker of tin foil hats! 😂🤣

I can’t wait to peruse your book site and to receive my copy. I’m sure reading it will bring a flood of happy tears as well as sad. 🥰

The show was Property Ladder and we filmed it in 2006. (We flipped a house and didn't kill each other!) I can't find it online anymore. :(

Sis….It’s not completely true that you didn’t do anything meaningful until “f” in Covid. I could name lots of things ♥️

That’s a great song! “Until I’m a ghost” reminds me of the best sitcom scene ever written: https://youtu.be/bsQpWHEYEMU?si=xr3dqSETQPUbK2O6 🤣🤣🤣

That was horribly painful! My husband is wonderful (even more so after 33 years!) but it took a lot of encouragement to get him to write his own heartfelt vows for our wedding. (he asked to see mine - to copy them!😂🤣) Nope, not a chance, bud. I won't put him through that agony a second time. His vows worked just fine the first time around.

You are a machine getting a book out so quick! Almost as quick as the vax- haha. Well done and happy anniversary to you and your husband. Dare I say humour is an essential part to a marriage lasting?

HAPPY ANNIVERSARY! You are my kind of people!

All I ever published was a saddlery catalog before I owned a computer and way before AI stuck it's meddling head in the mix. (Like my Father in Law used to tell my Sister in Law, "Sometimes you are just too much help!")

The gal with a primitive computer compared to those today was lackadaisical @ typesetting until she saw my drawn artwork. Turns out she was a high school art teacher.

Funny story, My 800 number was close to that of the Aruba number.

Gal calls wanting a catalog and I asked where she saw the ad. She said a bridle magazine. I said "You mean a Saddle magazine?" She said " No, I want to book our honeymoon at Aruba!"

We both had tolaugh!

What IS up with Kate, right? I think they are boarding the shelters.

The book sounds great to me, a pissed off, childless woman of a certain age, not related to the one you mentioned. :-)

Happy, happy anniversary! As a fellow marriage longhauler (33 years for us), one of my favorite sayings continues to be “staying married is the best revenge”. 😉
