One of your first paragraphs got me to thinking about how well we communicate with our partners. You said you never thought he would consider it. How many of us have been together so long our DNA is the same and we think we know each other so we don't suggest something because we think we know the response we will get.

We were at an RV show walking through a motorhome when she said, we should sell everything and live in one of these. I was shocked, excited and dizzy all at the same time. At that point our retirement plans changed. I had never brought it up because I knew that she would have had me committed. Funny how, even after all these years, we surprise each other.

BTW, she might still have me committed but, it will be for asking questions like, I wonder if they make saddles for sea horses?

MarkS, I know what you mean. We've been married for 31 years and I would have said we knew each other inside out. But once in a while we still surprise each other, and that was one of those times.

Thanks for your response.
