Never think you have to always go high dollar to make investments in your marriage.
Having finished a peaceful hour sitting on the dock of a friend’s cottage in the middle of nowhere on Watauga Lake, I said, “Hey, let’s go to Dollar General, get a carton of ice cream, and head for Watauga Point to watch the sunset.” No more had it been said, we were off!
The selection as stated by my wife was mint chocolate chip or something chocolatey. Well, the choices were slim, so Kit Kat Bar ice cream was it. Hey, it’s ice cream. That’s all that matters, right?
We parked, walked through the flock of geese in the open lawn and pointed our chairs toward the sun. With two spoons and a carton of frozen goodness, we ate, talked, watched the boats go by, enjoyed the beauty of a sailboat, commented about a small plane flying over the lake with the mountain behind as a backdrop, and took pictures of all the beauty around us!
Sometimes, spontaneity is a good thing in a marriage. Next time your spouse says, “Hey, let’s . . . .” Say, “Sure!”
You see, we’re just two lovers in our middle sixties still havin’ fun on the scenic route in marriage, and we want you to as well!
How’s your trip?
“Hey let’s . . . .”
