They say such nice things about people at their funerals that it makes me sad to realize that I'm going to miss mine by just a few days.

Sir Lancelot and Queen Guinevere: A Medieval and Tragic Love StoryThis love story of Sir Lancelot and Queen Guinevere is probably one of the best-known stories of Arthurian Legend. Incidentally, it's only recently that I made the connection between Gwen Fawr (Gwen the Great in Welsh) and Guinevere.
Lancelot falls in love with Queen Guinevere, King Arthur's wife. Their love grows slowly, as Guinevere keeps Lancelot away from her. Eventually, however, her love and passion overpowers her and the pair became lovers.
One night, Sir Agravain and Sir Modred, King Arthur's nephew, led a band of 12 knights to Guinevere's chamber where they burst in upon the lovers. Discovered, Sir Lancelot makes a fighting escape, but poor Guinevere is not so lucky. She is seized and condemned to burn to death for her adultery.
However, fear you not say Will and Guy; Sir Lancelot returns several days later to rescue his beloved Guinevere from the fire.
This whole sad affair divides the Knights of the Round Table and seriously weakens Arthur's kingdom. Poor Lancelot ends his days as a lowly hermit and Guinevere becomes a nun at Amesbury where later she dies.

The Proposal Love story - How to Make A Wedding Proposal Bus Driver Risks Embarrassment Primary school teacher, Miss Alex Hyde was left almost speechless after her boyfriend proposed to her in front of the entire school.
A risky proposition you may well think. Romantic bus driver Bob Doyle popped the question at a specially arranged assembly. Bob, 49, even made a video of himself singing the couple's favorite love song which was showed on a giant screen in front of 700 pupils and staff.
He then took Alex, 38, onto the stage of Newbridge Preparatory School, Wolverhampton, West Midlands, UK where he went down on one knee and asked her to marry him. The pupils then erupted into cheers when she said "yes" during the assembly recently. A brave man, we think, as he might have been turned down.

Love is Blind?
Phil, a smart and handsome young man, dressed in the latest fashion, walked into this local pub. He noticed a woman gazing at him without blinking her big eyes. Phil felt flattered so he walked up to the woman and said in his deepest voice, 'I'll do anything you wish, beautiful lady, for just $10 but on one condition.'
The woman appeared to be trapped in the moment and asked as if in a trance, 'What's your condition?'
Phil answered, 'Tell me your wish in just three words.'
There was a long pause, the woman opened her purse, counted out the money and handed it to the man along with her address. She then looked deeply into his eyes and whispered, 'Clean my house.'

Good morning everyboomie.
How is everyone doing this fine 12th day of February 2019?
Not sure why but I'd like a piece of pumpkin pie.
We had rain most of the day Monday, but not Tuesday no sir!
Tuesday my future's so bright I gotta wear my sun glasses. Yup
I'm thinking the big ones that cover half of my face.
Not sure what I'll do. It'll most likely be too wet to go to the sod farm.
I do need to go down to Sam's though so I'll probably do that.
Whatever your day brings, have a happy day everyone.
