He grilled salmon.
She cooked beans.
He set the table.
She prepared a salad.
He poured the vodka.
She mixed tomato juice, Worchestershire, lemon and tobasco.
They clinked glasses and sipped their Saturday-night Bloody Mary.
While she drank the juice mixture, he consumed the shot of vodka.
It was the secret to their happy marriage.

That was a fun 55, CJ! Lovely story about marriage. Got a nice one of my own, sans the vodka. I found you on a couple of 55 blogs today and popped in to say hi. Come by my place for another 55. We have a few things in common. Love those mysteries, for example, and I'm an artist too, with words and flowers, or so they say. Cheers!

I like this. If you reverse the rolls, I think it would work well in my household, too. Thank you for you comment on my 55 which is HERE.

Can I get something else? Neither the juice nor the vodka appeals. Maybe just a little scotch?

See, you reappear in the loop and all you get is carping from me. Good to see you back!

Indded that is the secret of Happy Marriage. Do what you do of your own free will, without forcing your likes or dislikes on the other!
