Oh… hullo, everybody!
We’re heading over to Eloise and Gene’s house, to post our comments on
the June 10th 2018 “CLEO and COMPANY”

Eloise keeps a beautiful house.
You can tell she appreciates the niceties.
It’s very comfortable there…. and I heard she’s baking cookies.
I’m told she makes them in quite elegant, fancy shapes and flavors…
I’m looking forward to that!
Mmmm…. thanks, ML!)
When you meet Gene, you might be surprised….
he’s quite different from Eloise….. and never one to stand on formality….
or maybe you could say he does… since he stands on the the formal-looking furniture.
He pretty much marches to his own beat.
But don’t worry…. he’s actually quite relaxed and easy-going.
They look like an odd couple….
You wonder how she tolerates his shoes on the love seat and his mess in the bathroom…
and how he gets along with a person who follows all the rules.
But one thing you notice right away about Eloise….
she’s very…. what word to we use nowadays?
We used to say “well bred”…. but it sounds a little…. well, you know…. wrong, today.
In any case… she was brought up to be polite, and gracious, and to make everyone comfortable.
And Gene, though informal, is the essence of kindness.
I asked her one time, when I was cutting her hair, if she knew the secret to their long marriage…
and she said, as though it were a surprising question,
“Maybe it’s just that we’re nice to each other.”
A lesson I think many couples could profit by.

(Though…. and please don’t say anything she might hear….. I doubt they could taste as good as the ones Montana Lady brought yesterday….Mmmm…. thanks, ML!)
