    My neighbours, older retired folks, are too cute for words, always going for evening strolls hand in hand. He's a spry old dude, a newfie with a twinkle in his eye and always quick with a joke. They're working outside today, he's up the ladder, she's holding it, looking up.

    Her: "I see London, I see France, I see Tony's underpants"

    Him: "No darlin', that's the CN Tower"

    Touching. There may be snow on the roof, but there's still a fire in the woodstove...

    I feel the same way sometimes.

    I hope my wife and I get to grow old together.

    Oddly enough, something like that brought my wife and I together. And it's only gotten stranger since.

    My GF and I have been together for 7 years this august, and I am still very excited about the prospect of the next 70 years.

    The love of my life died 22 years ago. I miss her still. If she had lived I know we would still be together.

    We have been married 19 years, are Senior Citzens, so I guess we DID grow old together. Not only still together, but 24/7 as well. Good woman.

    Pretty happy with the wife after ten years. Kid #2 is on the way and I am pretty pumped about that.

    10 years and you still call her "the wife"?

    Cute story, but I was surprised you didn't have to explain what a "newfie" was to our American friends.

    Hey I'm not new anymore! I just graduated to a "Reader". Some day I'll be a Dork.

    And one day, you might even obtain Ultradork status. Of course, by then all the cool kids will have an as of yet undetermined name.
