Cathy Classics by Cathy Guisewite for March 15, 2014

Ah, the joy of being a Mom of a twenty-something modern woman! ;)

I used to do that with my friends too. Sometimes it’s just easier to let the other person talk without interjecting after every sentence.Good morning, Cathy clan!

At 65

With 40 years with my beloved, sometimes old memories pop up.

Picking her up at the tea shop she works part time. She smile and I think she forgot what they told her.

We walk the streets. She suddenly crosses the busy street and says, “They suppose stop for students.”

I tried to tear that memory from heart.

I was a bigger jerk than Irving. As a single Naval Officer, I saw a lot of pretty faces. But at least I didn’t BS like Irving.

I tell the young guys at the Y that don’t look at the body or face but the heart.

I dated much more beautiful women than my wife. But they expect so much out of you. A woman with a heart will stand by you when trouble falls on top of you.

As years went by, my wife became more beautiful because of what was in her heart.

Don’t ever forget marriage is journey, not an answer. Be sure you want to share the journey with that person.

Big mess.

She said she knew that.

But she loves me for 40 years.

She has never try to rearrange me.

She can get nasty, but she still looks at me with love.

Nobody can get lucky as I did.

Goodbye Midland

Honestly, I don’t even know where to start with this one.

So, when in doubt? Go with a trusty [eye-roll].

HI, MOM. Hello, “Cathy” Clan.
