A Truly Beautiful Tale of LoveA middle-aged gentleman walked into the make-up section of a department store. The salespeople approached him assuming he was buying goods for his significant other.
To their surprise, he begged them to teach him how to put on make-up. They were a bit taken aback, but seeing as the store was not particularly bustling at that hour, indulged him. He took detailed notes throughout the rather thorough lesson, and finally at the end they simply couldn't hold it in any longer, and asked what had inspired him to learn this art.
He replied, 'My dear wife recently lost her sight in a terrible accident, and so she can't put on her own make-up anymore. We've been married over two decades, and she knows I think she's the most beautiful woman in the world no matter what, but when we go out nowadays she doesn't have the confidence she used to have. I came here because I want to be able to put her make-up on for her so she can feel as beautiful on the outside as I know she is on the inside.'

A Story of a Deep and Profound Love from China: The Tale of Liu and Xu A Truly Beautiful Tale of LoveAn incredible love story has come out of China recently and managed to touch the world.
It is a story of a man and an older woman who ran off to live and love each other in peace for over half a century.
Over 50 years ago, Liu, a 19 year-old boy, fell in love with a 29 year-old widowed mother named Xu. At that time, it was unacceptable and immoral for a young man to love an older woman. To avoid the market gossip, the couple decided to elope and lived in a cave in Jiangjin County in Southern Chongqing area of China.
In the beginning, they had nothing, no electricity or even food. They had to eat grass and roots they found in the mountain, and Liu made a kerosene lamp that they used to light up their lives. In the second year of living in the mountain, Liu began and continued for over 50 years, to hand-carve the steps [over 6000] so that his wife could get down the mountain easily.
The couple had lived quietly together for over 50 years until recently. Liu, now 72 years, returned from his daily farm work and collapsed. Xu sat and prayed with her husband as he passed away in her arms.
So in love with Xu, was Liu, that no one was able to release the grip he had on his wife's hand even after he had passed away.
The local government in the area has decided to preserve the love ladder and the place they lived as a museum, so this love story can live forever.

Love Quotes
True love is not how you forgive, but how you forget, not what you see but what you feel, not how you listen but how you understand, and not how you let go but how you hold on
True love is not about the hugs and kisses, the "I love you's" or the "I miss you's", but about the chills that hit every part of your spine when you think about him
For it was not into my ear you whispered, but into my heart. It was not my lips you kissed, but my soul.
True love begins when nothing is looked for in return.
You may hold my hand for a while, but you hold my heart forever.
Had we never lov'd sae kindly, Had we never lov'd sae blindly, Never met -- or never parted -- we had never been broken-hearted. Robert Burns

Story of Loving Elephants Animal Love StoriesWhen elephants retire, many head for the Elephant Sanctuary in Hohenwald, Tennessee, USA. They arrive one by one, but they tend to live out their lives two-by-two.
'Every elephant that comes here searches out someone that she then spends most all of her time with,' sanctuary co-founder Carol Buckley has told us.
'It's like having a best girlfriend, Buckley says. Somebody they can relate to, they have something in common with.'
Debbie has Ronnie. Misty can't live without Dulary. Those are pachyderm-pachyderm pairs.
Strangely the closest friends of all are Tarra and Bella. That would be Tarra the 8,700 pound Asian elephant and Bella the dog. 'This is her friend,' Buckley says, scratching Bella's tummy. 'Her friend just happens to be a dog and not an elephant. Bella knows she's not an elephant. Tarra knows she's not a dog," Buckley adds. 'But that's not a problem for them.'

Good morning everyboomie.

It's the weekend/part 2.

We're like in a freezer zip-lock down here. A chance of freezing drizzle tonight, and there's nothing like freezing drizzle. That's way too many zzz's for precip.

Really it's way too many zzz's for these red-neck drivers.

Good reason to stay in.....the house.

I'm sitting on the couch, under a blanket, with a little dog under each side.

Of course every time I try to shift my weight, and reposition, they pop out from under the blanket and go 'What's going on? Are we going somewhere?'

Silly dogs. Trips are for kids.

Have a happy day everyone.
