Ukeval - An ukulele and guitar duet sounds like a splendid idea. My husband plays mandolin and he's been dropping hints about how he'd like to work on a song together.
Webby - That is so cool how she and you are sharing the learning and love of the ukulele together. A trip to Hawaii sounds like a wonderful idea. You might need to work it into your travel budget for two K brands though, just in case y'know?
Plainsong - Those posts are a little saddening for me too, but they also help me appreciate what I have at home that much more.
The Big Kahuna - I'm not sure how your post relates to supportive partners, but I am a little (okay, a lot ) dense at times. It looks like a great series of books though. I wish I had known about Moominland Midwinter when my children were younger. I have a child who has a hard time relating to his peers and stories like these would have been a comfort to him.
luluwrites - A little reality check from time to time is a good thing IMHO. It sounds like you help balance each other out. And we have adopted "Go big or go home" as our unofficial family motto as of late.
Skitzic - Just enjoy it. He trusts you and your judgement. Maybe in return you might try not zapping him with the bug zapper the next time it occurs for you to do so?
MisterRios - Men who cook for their girlfriends/wives are the best! I'd totally be supportive if my man took up any of those hobbies. However, I'm afraid they'd have to cut a hole in my wall and roll me out of the house eventually.
Vanflynn - :agree: It is all that counts in the end. I love seeing couples who are joyful together.
PoiDog - She sounds amazing. You
were smart to marry her. You must be pretty amazing yourself. I think women tend to be generous if they are getting their needs met.
Freeda - I agree; he is awesome. It was great meeting both you and he at UWC. I definitely saw a lot of love between you two. Sometimes just having someone who puts up with our idiosyncrasies is enough. I know mine puts up with a lot of mine.
Mattydee - It sure sounds blissful. What a beautiful way to share your uke experience with you!
Ksiegel - My husband kids about being my biggest enabler. He says he supports my passions, so he can get away with some of his.
Your description of your spinning wheel made me giggle, because it did sounds so much like you were describing a uke.
Luthien - Having the people we care about, enjoying the music we produce is the best we can hope for as musicians, I think. Also, I'm not a big fan of bagpipe music either. My husband has talked about taking it up in the past. I'm so relieved he decided to take up mandolin instead.
RyanMFT - I can totally picture the "Summer Nights" thing in my mind where John Travolta and Olivia Newton John are dressed as each other's characters, and it's a hilarious picture.
I couldn't do what you do. I think it would depress me too much. It is saddening enough to see so many of our friends lose the joyfulness they once shared as a couple.
Teek - My husband is a cyclist too. I once considered it weird why anyone would want more than one and was totally shocked they could cost more than my car at the time. Once he got me used to riding a decent bike with better components, I got it. Currently, I have one more than he does and I only ride a fraction of what he does.
Pootsie - :rofl:
