Thursday Write Photo 25th November.

This week, KL gives us Stamps as our theme.
For visually challenged writers, the image shows a colourful collection of used stamps from various envelopes and postages.

People collect a variety of things and a collector of stamps is called a Philatelist.

Posted a letter
Hopeful it would be answered:
Interestingly enough, it was.
Legitimate enquiry
And a friendship made.
Trust and honesty
Enveloped us two,
Lifetime partners we would become.
Inseparable as the years have progressed,
Strong and united,
Together forever.

For newer readers who may not be aware, Hubby placed an advert in the local paper and I answered it. Both of us were coming out of relationships that had ended badly and were looking for nothing more than friendship and company.
We got married two years after we met and celebrated our Pearl Wedding anniversary this past May.
He says it’s the best tenner he ever spent, and still has the copy of the ad he placed and my reply. I say it’s the best stamp I ever purchased. We still don’t know when the slushy stuff crept in and we became a couple, but I’m sure glad it worked out that way!

About pensitivity101

I am a retired number cruncher with a vivid imagination and wacky sense of humour which extends to short stories and poetry. I love to cook and am a bit of a dog whisperer as I get on better with them than people sometimes! We have recently lost our beloved dog Maggie who adopted us as a 7 week old pup in March 2005. We decided to have a photo put on canvas as we had for her predecessor Barney, and now have three pictures of our fur babies on the wall as we found a snapshot of my GSD so had hers done too. From 2014 to 2017 'Home' was a 41 foot narrow boat where we made strong friendships both on and off the water. We were close to nature enjoying swan and duck families for neighbours, and it was a fascinating chapter in our lives. We now reside in a small bungalow on the Lincolnshire coast where we have forged new friendships and interests.
