      1. Thank you Diana. That is how we feel about your blog. it is inspirational.

         Diana

   2. Yes! The photo caught my eye too! Then the words made me smile. Guess we all need reminders for all the important things.

      1. *smile* You said it, MM. Sad that is so, but better late w/ the remembering than never!

      2. Absolutely. Have a happy weekend.

      3. Yes, ‘smile’. It is a curve that makes so much straight.

      4. Aw. Perfect. =)

      1. 😉

5. So cute. ☺️

   1. Heh heh heh. Haveta say he is. =) Thx.

6. Spouses need to recognize the substantial risk they take in antagonizing their blogging partners. We are not to be trifled with.

   1. “We are not to be trifled with.”
      The WE being the men…? =)

      1. The WE being bloggers.

7. Don’t forget to play again at least one day before your anniversary and leave a magazine open to the page of some fabulous and ludicrously expensive jewelry. That will fire up the man-brain in time for a work-around using intuitive thought processes located somewhere in the “Will to Survive” region of the man-brain. If you do it for birthdays and holidays as well, the man-brain can be trained for auto response. It’s not perfect, there may be the occasional slip up. Kinda like potty training. It’s not fun, but after a while it gets results. 🙂

   1. RoAr!! Now WHY haven’t i made more strategic use of my playing which works like a spell on the man? THANKS!! Veritably brilliant.

      1. I’m so well conditioned, after three notes I’m writing a shopping list. 🙂

      2. LoL. I did say the wife sounded amazing. 😉

      3. 🙂

8. Blogging is one way to remember too 🙂

   1. Ha ha ha. Yes. Yes.

9. If I don’t remember,my wife just whacks the side of my head!

   1. LOL. What a great way to JoG your memory. 😉

17. Lol😀

    1. Yah. My house. I was thinking of you and was going to pop on over this wknd when I caught my breath. I hope you enjoy the Latin post – for C. =)

       1. Latin post?
          We have been fixing up our place, and today we started our move. Ugh. Sooooo much work. I have had to put iff homescooling thisweek because of it. Can’T wait for routine again.😕

       2. Ugh is right!! I know you prefer quick access that saves you the search. Yeah, it’s one of my few annual homeschool posts:

          Long Live Latin

          C can SO do this!! Have him listen!~

       3. Great. I’ll check it out now. 😀

       4. Awesome. Of course, it’s very close to Portuguese, so it shouldn’t be difficult at all. I listened from my phone and for some reason I was unable to like from there. That’s why I’m commenting here.
          Thanks D. 😃

       5. Ah – right….Romance lgs. I had a taste of Portuguese in high school (and then minored in Latin n Greek in college) but hadn’t really thought about the connection. Niiice. Thx for tuning in. The possibilities for C are endless, my friend. =)

          Xx
          Diana

       6. Thanks D. Just takes patience, right? Something I’m learning daily 🙂

18. We all need reminders of the beauty, strength, passion and ever so much more that ignited our souls to dream through this world of chaos.😉

    1. Sorry I’m laughing. (There you go with the poetry…wonder if it’s your water or something. LOL. Or simply blossoming talent.)

       1. I would like to think blossoming talent… But I don’t follow the grammar. I just write from my heart. Nonetheless, thank you!!!

19. 😀

    1. Yes. Ha ha ha.

20. Lovely photo you shared. Very cute of you and the man. How can anyone not like music from a piano… 😀 Have a good weekend, D!

    1. I doctored the photo just a tad. Thanks for the greeting, M. Hope you manage some ReSt this wknd!!

21. Boys know best 🙂

    1. They miss nothing!

22. in this case, it’s to be hoped, that you don’t have a memory like an elephant…your husband has it definitely not, lol.

    1. He most CERTainLy does not. (But in all fairness that is a saving grace – that he remembers not my transgressions.) LOL.

23. Sweet…nice to hear those words…cause sometimes we do get caught up in the hectic lives we lead..and BOOM…there it is …that overwhelming, wonderful sensation of love. Very sweet…..have a good weekend you too!

24. Too funny! I remember when my oldest son was a pre-teen, he would recite “Dad’s love notes to Mom.” The real love notes from before we were married are all tucked away in a hidden place (because I’m sure my husband would pitch them away at this point.) Of course, my son made up all the words. It was hilarious to hear my son. I would crack up, but my husband would get mad.

    1. “The real love notes from before we were married are all tucked away in a hidden place (because I’m sure my husband would pitch them away at this point.)” LOL!!!!

       “Of course, my son made up all the words. ” How adorable!! Oh, you were right to laugh, Deb. You know, those moments are irreplaceable. I loved this vignette. Thanks.

       Diana

25. And they say romance is dead ; )

    1. *wide-eyed (in innocence)*
       I know, right?

26. Haha. So cute. My husband always says stuff like that. I laugh at him. He knows he’s lucky! 🙂 Love your new photo.

    1. Ha ha ha. I can so see you laughing, A. =)

       (And thanks for the kind word. All I knew was I had to climb out of that long coat with Spring here.)

27. Hey Diana, nice to see your post! How are you doing? All fine?

    1. Yep. Just swimming through these comments – and juggling the homeschooling. Thanks, and I hope things are well over there.

       1. Ya! Just good. Thanks for the reply!

28. Comical and realistic view of a comfortable couple. 🙂

    1. HA
       ha ha ha.

29. Hahaha! Amazing…reminds me of my husband and I ❤

    1. Heh heh. But it wasn’t your piano-playing…it was the twerking, right? LOL!!

       1. Haha! Yes, I can’t play the piano to save my life…but I have got other skills…like my twerking, yes 😉 (How did you know?)

          Have a great weekend!

30. Men do say the oddest things! “gotta blog it” Too true.

    1. Ha ha. =)

31. Best post i ever found. Nothing like polishing, no manipulation, nothing like overdose of philosophy, simply truth with open minds.

    1. Thank you.

32. You provide only the best of care and it shows… Giggle. So fun, Diana 😉

    1. Very sweet, Aud. =) We had a blast.

33. I know all about those little mind games. lol

    1. What mind games? lol
       (For real. We were just being real. Ha ha ha.)

34. I love hearing my wife play as well, and often mention how beautiful it sounds.
    Keep playing, and keep blogging!
    Thanks for sharing! 😉
    ~Carl~

    1. A sweet couple, you two. Thanks for sharing, C. =)

35. Keep at it. Cannot wait to see more of this.

    1. =)

36. Perhaps the passionate playing stirred the romantic beast that slumbered within his being? Hey, I’m trying to help the poor fellow out! 😉

    1. LOL. Perhaps your altruism stirred a fairy tale post over there… =) And yes, when it gets Man vs. Wife, he needs all the help he can get. Heh heh.

37. I wonder if “blogging” has made it into any wedding vows…

    1. Ha ha ha, again you beat me to it. I am going to mention this in a post – another dialog snippet between me and him. LOL.

38. The perfect inner-working of a happily balanced family (with the boy leading the way!). Perfect Diana, simply perfect honesty by all 🙂

    1. HA ha ha. Mom and Dad are perfectly imbalanced that we balance each other. =) Thx for lending your ear here, R.

39. all i could do while reading is smile. cute post….

    1. Ha ha. Thanks. =)

40. Lol… great that your family supports you and recognizes your gifts. And as I just said in my last comment on your last blog post- kudos to the pianist!

    1. You and your encouragement. Keeping it fun. =)

41. that’s awesome! you two sound just like us. i first met my husband after hearing him play piano in the college dorms. before we started dating, we would find each other playing in the piano lounge and just listen to each other play before ever speaking a word to one another =)

    1. Just wonderful. =) You guys still play, I take it? Thx for sharing.

       Diana

42. Blog it indeed! lol 🙂

    1. Kidz keep it extra fun, as you know. =)

43. I feel like we should have seen a youtube video of you playing actually…

    1. Not sure if I should be pleased you would take the time or miffed that this is really a challenge against Mr. Wayfarer’s tastes…

       (I do have posts of me playing.) =)

44. 😀 It’s gotta be just one of the million reasons. 😀

    1. LOL. Now a million’s hard to remember all…

45. I’ve spent a little time in that uncomfortable space. Fortunately my own wife, like you , showed a bit of mercy for my graceless speech. This gave me a laugh. Thanks.

    1. Ha ha ha ha. We gotta laugh (so we don’t cry)!

46. 🙂 The shame that he needs a reminder! But I guess we all do, now and again…

    1. *chuckle* In all fairness to him, it’s my doing that he needs reminders. =)

47. This is very good!

    1. Was fun. Thanks. =)

48. you are so sweeeeet

49. This is wonderful, and … I cannot explain this … the word “elegance” emerges for me as I read this post. Maybe I see elegance (not for the first time) when there are two people who love each other, talking to each other … about almost anything.

    1. Eh…that’s not quite the word in my book for this one, LOL, but thank you. Been wondering how you’re doing. =) Will be making my rounds after I get through the bday wk for the little man.

50. Reblogged this on Made In Middle East.

    1. Thank you. Glad you enjoyed. =)
