For today’s Friday Five, here are 5 on marriage that will help you head into the weekend with a smile on your face!
1. It’s all about doing what works.
2. Now there’s some math that adds up! To be able to print out the saying and/or see what it looks like framed, click on the picture.
3. A new way to send (pack?) a love note! Scratch your message onto the banana peel and by lunch it has “appeared”!
4. May your wishes come true. (So I guess there are 102 Things to Say to Make Your Mate Feel Great!) This one’s simple to whip up, too!
I just love reading your blog!! Good advice and always makes me smile. Thank you!!
I’m so glad you’re enjoying it, Cathy -and I appreciate you taking the time to let me know!
Shel, husband and I are reading and smiling. We celebrated #38 last week and love your posts!

Thanks, DiAne – you both made my day! Happy belated anniversary! Steve and I aren’t too far behind you – we’ll hit 37 years next month.
I wandered over for a look Shel – what a great by line – a divorce lawyer who hates divorce! And you are practising for the day your job is no longer necessary – love it!!
Great ideas to keep things going – but of course if they aren’t ‘going’ no amount of banana writing will improve things …… I’m wondering where in my life I could use this little gem 🙂
Thanks so much for visiting, Pauline! Most of what I write about marriage is totally applicable to the other relationships in our lives: parents, siblings, children, friends, etc. Life just gets better for everyone if we express appreciation and stop taking each other for granted.
If you don’t have a grandchild or friend to leave a banana note for (and assuming Orlando doesn’t know how to read!) leave yourself a note in the morning of something you need to do later and crack yourself up with your banana reminder!
Great idea Shel – I just might do that 🙂 I’m told it won’t be too much longer before the memory starts going so there’s always the chance I’ll think I really do have an admirer 🙂
We do lunchbox notes for one another – the banana is awesome, though!
Love the last one – about insanity? Haha.
Of course you like the last one, Lisa – we’re relate to truth!!
I love the banana idea…too cute! We’re big on leaving notes for each other.
And this one’s like a secret decoder ring – a for-your-eyes-only message!
love your images-good advice!
Thanks, Lin! Hope you have a great weekend!
You’ve improved MY day…Thank you!
You’re welcome – and thanks for taking the time to let me know, Robert! Have a great weekend!
Can’t wait to do the banana for my granddaughters. They’ll love it!
I’m sure they will, Gina! Have a great weekend!
