Day #259 of 365 Days with Reasons Why I Love You



#259

Ginny, I love you because you take time to Skype with your 2-year-old granddaughter
in North Carolina and read a book to her, while she looks at the same book on her end.
You make memories with her from more than 2000 miles away.

Ginny, I love you because we can laugh when you do something silly in the kitchen,
like put food in the oven, but not turn the oven on.

Day #257 of 365 Days with Reasons Why I Love You



#257

Ginny, I love you because, when a neighbor's dog ran into the yard of a house we
rented, you immediately opened our patio door and took him in. I asked, "Gin, what are
you doing? What about the cat?"

You said, "She'll get over it. We can't leave this dog running loose. He'll get hurt."

The cat did get over it. The dog made himself at home for the day and his owner
was very thankful.

Day #243 of 365 Days with Reasons Why I Love You

#243

Ginny, I love you because you made me laugh so hard 10 years ago. We were on
our way home from a fun night with friends in Jersey City. We tried to cross the
highway leading into the Holland tunnel. It was gridlock. Cars headed into the tunnel
ignored the lights and filled the intersection. We weaved our way between them.
At the other side we found our lane blocked by cars in our lane trying to get into the tunnel.
Behind us, someone in a truck kept their horn blaring. You stuck your upper body out
the window, raised your arms in frustration and yelled in your best southern
accented version of a Brooklyn accent, "Wadda yah want? Wadda wan' us to do?"
It broke a stressful moment.

Day #235 of 365 Days with Reasons Why I Love You



#235

Ginny, I love you because even on days when you work and you want a specific
dinner that you don't trust me to cook, you cook it yourself.
I make up for it by cleaning up after. (Maybe you'd rather cook than clean)
Team work again.

Day #234 of 365 Days with Reasons Why I Love You



#234

Ginny, I love you because you are a quicker thinker than I am. An example: We're
driving through a neighborhood. You're driving. I'm in the passenger seat with my
window open. There's a sprinkler ahead that is spraying water into the street. You will
always pull to the curb beside the sprinkler and laugh as my face gets soaked.
I would never think of that.
Love is also fun and games together.
