The Perfect Woman

[Geraldsh]

My uncle explained it to me:
Finding a wife is like finding a Christmas tree in the forest. When you start out you see lots of nice trees and pass them by even though you are not allowed to change your mind and turn back. As you keep going and looking you notice the forest is thinner and there are not as many nice trees but you still have to pick one. The one you finally get is the best you could do.

There's no perfect woman, but I am not the perfect guy either.
We found each other made a good partner in life, and have been together 46 years.
We are well matched in our tastes, managing money and most issues in life. Sometimes the easy way is "yes Dear", and sometimes, when it really matters it's " not happening".
I'd be lost without her, which became obvious with her encounter with cancer.
That's as close to perfect as it gets.

Reminds me of a car deal back in the 70’s: buy one get one free (chosen off the line of old clunkers in the back row). That old beater was a lot of fun but it got no respect.

Old guy once told me to find myself a red head. He said if there’s rust on the roof there will be moisture in the basement. He was always good for a laugh.

I lucked out. My wife found me. She’s been an outstanding wife, mom to our kids and business partner.

One day I was digging in the garden and brought up a thick canvas sack that was full of a large hoard of gold coins. I was so excited I wanted to rush into the house to tell my wife, but then I remembered why I was digging in the garden.

My wife said we should have more fun in our lives. I agreed with her and went to the bar with my buddies.

One afternoon me and the wife were hiking a forest trail in the middle of nowhere. As sundown was approaching, she said “Honey it’s getting dark and I’m really scared.”
I replied, “Well how do you think I feel? I hafta walk back alone.”

When my granddaughter was visiting, she came into the living room and said, “Grampa there’s a man at the door collecting for the Old Folks home.”
I replied, “That’s great! Go and tell him your Grandma will be there in two hours.”

My wife told me, “Have a good day!”
So I grabbed a bottle of whiskey and clicked on my favorite porn site.

She decided to take up gardening as a hobby, but I have no idea what she's going to plant in a hole 6' x 3' x 5' deep.
