Lifelong friendship is the gift.
Kindness is the cause.
Til’ death do us part is the length.”

half shut after.”

“Love is the greatest gift when given.
It is the greatest honor when received.”
~ Fawn Weaver ~ 

“In the arithmetic of love, one plus one equals love and two minus one equals nothing.” ~ Mignon McLaughlin ~

The first to forgive is the strongest.
The first to forget is the happiest.”

~ Goethe ~ 

“There are a hundred paths through the world that are easier than love. But who wants easy?” ~ Mary Oliver ~

~ Gretchen Rubin ~

We are a work in progress with a lifetime contract.”

and likewise also the wife unto the husband.”
~ I Corinthians 7:3 ~

    Mildred, Beth was added and this photo is one of my favorite.

    Buttons, it is a good photo, isn't it?

    Debbie, you're welcome, glad to be of help.

    Marsha, God created them first.

    Robyn, it takes a while. Usually, I spend 2 to 3 hours on each Sabbath Keeping post.

    Lea, so did I.

    Dewena, good advice!

    Suziqu, I'm so sorry about Bessie; I hate losing any of my companion animals.

    I absolutely loved this post just didn't get a chance to say so earlier!
    Is Carly OK?
    We just lost one of our beautiful and most loved Angora goat Bessie – it's always hard.
    Have a wonderful week!
