Hey Tim,

You know there are people who pay big money for our type of counseling. It's apparent that our methods work. We already have a satisfied customer. What if we started charging for our services and donated our proceeds to the PMCA. WOW!!!!!! :lol: :lol:

Just kidding and not making light of the sanctity of marriage at all. Coming upon my 40th year. How in the world has she put up with me that long???????? She loves birds and loves to fish and loves our Heavenly Father. To me she's the perfect woman. (Honey come here and read what I wrote).

Ya'll have an excellent day, :grin: :shock: :grin:

Totally agree with you regarding the sanctity of marriage. Just had my 13th anniversary with my lovely bride. One more year and I will tie the record of 14 years with my first wife. :grin: Forty years with your wife; that is great. In all seriousness; two incredients to a successful marriage; faith in the Lord and to give more than you receive. Hope your wife got to read your message before you hit the submit button.

Ann:

If we can't laugh, especially at ourselves, we are missing out on a big part of life.

Gene:

Glad everything worked out between you and your wife and your martin housing. Hope you didn't mind my earlier comment.

That's the best idea of all. Hope the gentleman is able to afford it.

Gene, I forgot to mention that you can actually buy a "hummingbird house" online. It's a special twig-shaped metal piece that you can attach under your eaves, and maybe a hummingbird will nest where your wife can actually watch and see the babies. They come two to a box. Just go to your favorite search engine and search hummingbird house. :o)
