interesting recipes shabat thoughts the week behind did too saturday i had wondered what on earth we d do for our dinner today i didn t take a thing out of the freezer to thaw yesterday didn t do any prep work etc well it was easy enough to decide we brought home half a steak each from our anniversary dinner out i had leftover tossed salad i had just enough frozen french fries for two normally i would put those in the oven to crisp but it was far too hot to consider that nonsense so i fried them on top of the stove i don t deep fry anything very often but i had added incentive that big bag of sweet vidalia onions john brought home the other week i fried up a batch of onion rings and that all made a very good dinner and i did end heating up the oven but not for very long just long enough to

to his job as a marriage often using the terms bad or broken to describe it this past week after prayer he set a retirement date not in stone but mentally and he shared it with both me and his work partner it feels right this ending date but when john told me later in the day that he felt like he was divorcing the job and that it grieved him i was disturbed not jealous but just a deep gut feeling that he was wrong and that i too had been wrong in our assigning the term marriage to this job of his in the first place yes it does take up roughly half our married life and has for 25 years but still something felt very off in his assessment of what the ending of this quarter century of life amounted to continue at may 24 2019 21 comments email this blogthis share to x share to facebook
