aw, how sweet of your, Earl

You old sweety, Earl!

Nice touch!

Awwww!

Fifty years ago I wrote a poem honoring Hepzibah. I’m still waiting to meet one and show it to her.

awwwwwwww!!!!!! sweet!!!!

That old smoothie!

What a romantic!

Actually Earl that’s not half bad! Corny but cute.

Earl that worked Opal has a smile :-)

For time and eternity

Roses are red, violets are blue, you forgot her birthday, you’re in trouble no matter what you do.

Wholesome.

Take a picture, folks…one of the few times you see Opal with a smile on her face

That was—-surprisingly really good!

Nice save, Earl. You just saved yourself from a cold night in the doghouse.

Dispense with the formalities and make with the gifts

Earl is temporarily in the black of Opal’s emotional bank account.

that’s the best poem Earl could have written…and the best gift he could give! MAJOR HUSBAND POINTS FOR EARL!

Bada boom

“And even though you’re crabby from time to time, ours is a love that’s so sublime. You tend to squabble fuss and moan, if you didn’t it wouldn’t be home.”

Nice save!

Awwwww!

Earl…you old silver tongued devil you! ;o)

“Earl, I’ve been meaning to tell you— I want a divorce! Say, read me that poem again, will you?”

Ahh pretty cute, surprised me.

Back on the sugar list and not on the other one! Good save Earl!

Smooth talker and poet nonpariel.

Probably one from last year, and the year before, and….

Reminds me of “You’re Timeless To Me” from Hairspray, or “Do You Love Me”? from Fiddler on the Roof.

Aww, Earl, you know just how to charm ’em!

Awwww Earl! That was nice! Now to wait for the snarky reply from Opal….

Earl got it right this time. Funny and touching at same time.

I loved Earl’s poem.

Lena: “Ole, it’s our 75th wedding anniversary today and all these years you’ve never told me you love me.”Ole: “I told you that the day I married you – nothing’s changed.”

Score?

AwwwwwHEY! Why is my screen so blurry all of a sudden?

An Opal a day keeps the doctors away? Is that his analogy?

Today is my Mrs. birthday, too bad her name isn’t Opal!

Awwwwww. I didn’t know Earl had it in him to be such a sweetie! <3

Nice! :-)

Well surprise, surprise. Earl can be nice. Who knew?

Ahhh Earl you are a sweetheart…….very sweet and kind poem!

I think I see a SMILE.

How sweet, Earl!

d’awwwwwww

Aw, that is sweet. I don’t think Earl has ever shown appreciation before (in the comic, anyway). :-)

Awwwww
