Life is good and spending it with someone you so admire makes life great.
My Grandmother, who we referred to as Nan, had some great advice which I still practice today, WORK FIRST PLAY LATER, Robert.
You followed this advice to the max and for all of your hard work, you are now living a dream and are able to do whatever the two of you want.

It's when someone who's lived as much as you have says that it resonates most. Thank you.
You know about my bad wheel, that played a huge part. Grandpa taught me how to play chess. I must've made the move that didn't plan on walking forever. Meant no kids. No philanthropy ideas or a lot of things. Right or wrong move? So far so great and Sweed agrees.
Grandmas are the best!
Brother the first time I got married, can't make this up. Grandma wasn't around the second time. The first time, in my hotel room shortly before the reception, she said "long lasting relationships understand that neither know anything and can only learn together." I put quote marks but that's not exactly how it went, it's exactly how it goes though.
The comment above your comment belongs below your comment because it's for @dandays, not the @bigsweed.
I've done this on more than one occasion, I'll use age as an excuse.
The moves you have made so far seem to be working great. Being happy and having a partner that is truly a soulmate is working out in spades for both of us. I only hope that our better halves feel the same way! 😁
Great advice from Grandma, those words ring of so much truth.
Talking about grandparents,
I got two special pieces of artwork from my brother when he visited two weekends ago.
My Grandfather, my mom's father, who I never had the pleasure of meeting, passed away when my mom was only 16. He did two wood carvings. They had hung in my parent's home for as long as I can remember. When both of my parents passed, the carvings were tucked away in the attic.
I asked my brother if I could get one of them and to my surprise, he gave me both of them when he visited.
On the one carving, you can see where he signed and dated the piece.

I've admired these works for a long time and I can now enjoy their beauty every day as they remind me of happy days long gone.
Have a splendid weekend my friend.
COMPLETE UTTER BULLSHIT NOT TO ATTACH A PHOTO!
And thanks for the heads up. I've responded to myself I don't know how many times like doh!! The worst is upvoting myself, I've done that twice!! Both times like 'oh you gotta be kidding me....'
Been there also, have you ever downvoted yourself to even it out?
Yo man, just trying to sneak in a few minutes on #hive before duty calls. I'll get back to you with a few pictures, promise!
Take your time. I knew if you would've you could've. Looking forward to seeing them.
Have a great day Sweed. Yes, I downvoted myself both times and, between me and you, I didn't feel any less dirty.
