I’m looking forward to the new book! Oh, how I wish I still had a grandfather. Both of mine were farmers, and full of practical knowledge. My mother’s father (8 children of his own who each had 6 or more children of their own) would look over all of us, piled on each other in the living room, and boom out “Everybody Happy?” And we were. Very.

Just found you while looking for great sewing tutorials to post to my blog. First I’m going to go watch Love Actually (again) because I love it. Then I’m posting your little video to my blog, then I’m going to buy your book. Why all this crazy fan-ness? I have been telling my friends for YEARS that everyone should know how to sew on a button. I feel so vindicated right now.
Thanks.

Having only been married almost 12 years, one of the biggest things I have learned is to always try to see the other persons point of view. There’s alot to be said for the old saying of walking a mile in someone elses shoes. While you still might not agree, at least you’ve tried to see the other side of the issue. It’s in this trying that middleground can be found. Also…as my own mother is so fond of saying…This too will pass. Very usefull information, as we all need to keep things in constant perspective.

100 years ago, my beloved Gramma told her sister that she’d better go with her husband dancing even though she didn’t like to. Why? He’d find someone who would. . .My Mom, in turn, went with Dad to gun shows. In fact, “gun show” has become a code word in our family for the concept. I can happily report that after 8 years of marriage and lots of trips to “gun shows” like Home Depot & sporting events, we still get along great!

If your partner says something that can be taken two ways, and one of those ways will make you angry or sad, they meant the other way!

It helps to have a sense of humor, and self-esteem without ego. The balance between self and others should be slightly tilted to others. You have to have faith in a higher power; and it doesn’t hurt to be situationally blind and deaf once in a while. Been married to the same guy for nearly 38 years and it’s still mostly fun.
