This is a couple i was walking with at Magnuson while Ellie was romping with their 10 month old dog (the orangie one on the left). They were warm folk, friendly, but not intrusive. I fell behind them and just observed. They had a content quietness about them, a closeness without clinginess. You know how you go out for dinner and you see some old folks that look really unhappy. they don't speak. The old lady is usually grouching at the husband for something insignificant. But other than barking at each other, they don't speak. I've seen lots of older couples like that. It was nice to see the dog park couple. I liked the scarf and mittens the woman wore. I liked the way the man smiled when he spoke. Nice people. I want some more grandparents. I miss being in a family. I miss love. This is why I collect pets.

ReplyDeleteI love old couples like that too. I have a special place in my heart for the old men, though. The crabbier the better :)
