I would pay to see a video of you hooking the washing machine up to the sink every time you used it - not to mention the mishap. :-) I remember your cooking misadventures from an earlier story - so this was like revisiting an old friend. LOL
I am having so much fun laughing at you, not with you. LOLOLOL Sorry, just kidding. You are hysterical. Brooke

Comment from Treesaw
Utterly delightful! I've read other things you've written, enjoyed them, so added this to the list. Only a few punctuation problems and spelling that can be easily corrected. Do you plan to put these wonderful anecdotes in a book? It would be a pleasure to read--making the reader smile as well as shed a tear or two. The ups and downs of marriage and life in general. Well done!

Comment from patwannabe
Beth, this is good. It seems all newly-weds have several years of trauma before things settle down. It's a wonder that a marriage lasts through it, but I guess lots of them don't. I'm going to retract the "all" and just refer to years ago. I was married in '49 and we were dirt poor, too. I cooked a pot of beans for our first Thanksgiving and cried all through dinner.
I caught a booboo in your first para. You have "and his" twice. The rest is wonderful. Good job. pat

Thank you Pat, I had corrected the booboo while your were reading I guess. I appreciate your comments. We were married in 56 so I wasn't that far behind you. I cried the first Christmas because we couldn't afford a tree but then we picked one up after they threw them out and kept it up till February.

Dear Beth:
Good, good story. I empathize with you on the cooking skills. The first year we were married, I had to feed my first attempt at baking bread to our poor dog! Your spaghetti dish made me laugh.
One correction: In the second sentence you repeated the words: and his
Otherwise, a very enjoyable read. Is any of this autobiographical?
