and running waters out of thine own well."

"By all means marry. If you get a good wife, you'll become happy; if you get a bad one, you'll be a philosopher." ~ Socrates
"Don't marry the person you think you can live with; marry only the individual you think you can't live without." ~ James Dobson
"Love is the reason.
Lifelong friendship is the gift.
Kindness is the cause.
Til' death do us part is the length."

Keeping together is progress;
Working together is success."

half shut after." 
"A happy marriage is the result of the union between two good forgivers."
~ Ruth Graham Bell

but by learning to see an imperfect person perfectly." 
"Where there is love, there is life." ~ Gandhi

It is the greatest honor when received."
"In the arithmetic of love, one plus one equals love and two minus one equals nothing." ~ Mignon McLaughlin
"The first to apologize is the bravest.
The first to forgive is the strongest.
The first to forget is the happiest."
~ unknown ~
"Love is an act of endless forgiveness, a tender look which becomes a habit."
~ Peter Ustinov
"The most desired gift of love is not diamonds or roses or chocolates. It is focused attention." ~ Rick Warren
"You don't marry one person; you marry three: the person you think they are, the person they are, and the person they are going to become as a result of being married to you." ~ Richard Needham
"Love is an ideal thing, marriage a real thing." 
~ Goethe
"There are a hundred paths through the world that are easier than love. But who wants easy?" ~ Mary Oliver
"Was it love at first sight? It wasn't then but it sure is now." ~ Anne Meara
"Happiness: you bring your own weather to the picnic." 
"Many marriages would be better if the husband and wife clearly understood that they are on the same side." ~ Zig Ziglar ~
"Motto for the bride and groom: 
We are a work in progress with a lifetime contract." 
~ Phyllis Koss ~
"The older I get, the less time I want to spend with the part of the human race that didn't marry me." ~ Robert Brault


"Let the husband render unto the wife due benevolence: 
and likewise also the wife unto the husband."

    Is Carly OK?
    We just lost one of our beautiful and most loved Angora goat Bessie - it's always hard.

  9. 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.
