Magpie Tales 287 Lucky Ducks

Men Seeking Women
 
Personal ads from the 80's 
No electronic emails then
Only newsprint pages rustling
Heard while riding on the bus 
 
I read "Genuinely nice man"
No mention of "fireside talks"
Or "walks on the beach"
Straight forward honest words
Serendipity.
~~~
Well over 25 years ago we managed
to find each other. We are lucky ducks.

  1. Yep, we didn't need the internet back then. It's sometimes more harm in the dating world than good.

    Have a fabulous day honey. Big hugs to you and scritches to Miss Lucy. ♥♥♥

  9. Cute ducks. I do get a Sunday edition of our local paper but sometimes it's all 4-5 day old A/P wire stuff and not much local. But it still works to drain the bacon of fat and keep water coloring grandkids from coloring too much of my world.

I love comments and will attempt to reply to each one. However, lately I have been getting "Unknown" comments that are linked to some sort of web page. I will never open this sort of comment and will immediately mark as spam. I am not interested in opening something that could be detrimental to my blog security etc. Never have enjoyed hackers! Thanks!
