We've done 'who we are' and 'where we are' and 'what we do,' but we haven't done anything about our only one. I set the MP3's to play random tonight, and James Taylor's "You Are My Only One" came up. It didn't help that it was followed a few songs later by "Something In The Way She Moves."

"I feel fine anytime she's around me now."

So here's my only one, Madge, my SWMBO.

"I've got two long legs like to carry me
Two sharp eyes to look for the fight
Two strong arms to hold on tight
Two good friends on my left and right
But only one only one"

My only one has been with me for almost 15 years now. She left her first husband for me, and started and sold a company with me. She sat in the waiting room for 8 hours while I was on the bypass machine. She tolerates my fishing and boat habits. She let me retire, and works to support my silly hobbies. She tolerates me when I wake up horny at 4AM, and is truly my only one.

She's a zoftig 5' tall hard-tempered Irish Woman, and I wouldn't have another.

For fifteen years she's put up with you Donn!

The poor thing deserves more than a post on the WoodenBoat Forum for that!!!

Great idea Donn!

Ive been listening to Colleen Hewitt singing "Your My Hero" tonight and well this little {and I do mean little!} lady is my hero in everyway.

She birthed 8 children with me went through the changes to her body {not mentioning moods! :rolleyes: } put up with me calling her a beached whale on pins and now wryly puts up with being called possumpoop {its a loveingly given nickname for her short stature ;) }... shes given her firm body for us to enjoy the presence of our many hoons... shes given her career to be a home mom... and she suffers alongside me with my physical issues... she stands next to me in all things we do... suffers me my weird tangents of adventures and mis-adventures... is feircely loyal and devotedly my life partner soul mate and friend.

My hero

This is a great idea, Donn, though I can understand why some will be reticent to post.

Here she is, Grace O'Malley...

This picture pretty well captures everything in my life that I care about (excepting Powerade and Boston Whaler.)
