Cool Nature Photos

My wife's first name starts with the letter A.

One year, on her birthday, I went outside and saw this in the sky. I ran inside and told her to come outside! Come outside!!

She runs out there and I pointed up in the sky and told her "I wanted to buy a sky writer for her birthday but could only afford one letter. Hope you aren't disappointed"

Without missing a beat, she said "Awww, you're so nice." gave me a big kiss and started laughing.

Now I send it to her every year on her birthday.

Good for you and your wife! Fun! My wife would have taken so much time to get out of the house, she would have missed it. I don't know if anyone has ever been late to a wedding, but my wife is so slow that one time we not only missed a wedding, we missed the reception. That was when we were young and 45 years later, some things never change

. Oh well.

I went out with a lady like that for a while.
I got fed up with it and I would leave when it was time.
I'd just tell her to find me when she got there.
Not worth stressing aboot an inconsiderate self centered person.

My wife was late to our wedding, and she was in the same building as me. I think she was just trying to see how I handled stress. It was a hot August day.

My standard saying is "My wife will be late to my funeral and hers". I have after over 50 years learned I either accept we will be late or more times than not tell her we have to be where ever 30 to 45 minutes before we actually do. Doing that mostly gets us there ON TIME.

Discussion has moved way off of nature pics to fact of nature

Well...hopefully this will combine the two, certainly a nature photo. She was in my woods just now. I said "Hey! You're trespassing and I wanted to grind that stump!"

One thing my wife has learned is to not to be late for church. I'd just leave without her if I couldn't be 20 minutes early. And since I do the cooking, I just ate out before I came home and she went to bed hungry those days. It only happened a few times. Everything else I have more tolerance for, but I HATE getting to church late. Something I learned from my mother.

hahahaaha!

We rarely leave the house and DON'T forget something. The most recent was last week, we left to go see the kid for her birthday. Got about 10 minutes into the trip and I asked my wife, "Where's the cake?" Her reply.... "On the kitchen counter."

To our credit, we did remember the candles and spatula!

What's so funny is my wife & I are the opposite. She's ready 20 minutes before doing anything, I'm the procrastinator. What's funny is any appointment I always arrive with a minute to spare. Always.
Together 53 years & our anniversary is a week from today!
