My first posted comment!

Hey, special thanks to "Anonymous" for posting a comment. You are my first commenter! I'm so proud, my little blog is growing up. Family news before ranting. My sister is doing well after having a mastectomy. Mom is doing fine, and dad is looking great. My husband, whom I shall call Raoul, and me are watching the sisters dogs. Teddie and Tinkerbell. TNT is what I say. What cuties they are! I might be able to dig up a photo. I took Tinkerbell to the vet today, and even SHE is not doing well. I am doing fine, but I almost feel guilty for that. Almost.

My commenter, posted "Mature love that lasts" on my photo of 2 lovebirds that I had entitled "Young Love". I know those 2 and the man on the left is definitely a young love. But the point is well taken as love gets much better the longer it lasts. When aged at the proper temperature of course. It makes staying married so much easier. Would you throw out those wonderfully worn jeans for a new stiff pair. Maybe a bad analogy as jeans are made half worn already, and for just another $100.00 or so, someone will pre-own them for you to work them in real well.

Back on the topic. I'm no expert on love, but D & G, my posted young lovers, sure know a thing or two about love. I enjoy visiting with them because they interact so well. They read amazing literature (George Bush wouldn't like them as they don't have pictures) and sit down and discuss the issues. They go together like oatmeal and raisins. Sounds weird, but the 2 make each other better and better. They are comfortable together. They respect each other's opinions, especially when it's hers! Just kidding, I hear a lot of "Yes, dear"s from D, but I can tell they are on the same wave-length.

Raoul and I set up a work-out area in the basement today. Mini-tramp, exercise ball, bicycle trainer, and hand weights. Well, that pooped me out!

The Tamales were delicious! I made a quick little sauce that worked well with them:
saute 3 cloves of garlic gently in a couple of tablespoons of olive oil. Sprinkle some cumin and chili powder over the garlic. In the blender, give a quick chop to a can of Mexican style stewed tomatoes. Pour in the tomato mixture and heat through.

Well, time to sign off. Thanks again to "Anonymous" for the comment. I'll send you a prize or something.

Love to you all,

MarlaJean
