Our motel was not far from what is known as the Fountain of Youth. Every

Youth. Every time I dismissed the thought. What if it really worked? 
And what if my wife came with me? 

I really do not want my wife to regain her youth because I can barely
keep up with her now. Can you imagine the energy she would have for 
visiting thrift shops? 

No, the Fountain of Youth is not in my plans, but may be the Swamp of
Old Age. That is more my style. 

Driving home from our vacation late Friday afternoon, someone in the van
was very excited about the “treasures” she had discovered at St. 
Augustine. I was very excited that she was very excited because that 
makes for a happy house. 

King Solomon, quite a connoisseur of women and wives, gave this advice,
“Who can find a virtuous woman? for her price is far above rubies. The 
heart of her husband doth safely trust in her, so that he shall have no 
need of spoil. She will do him good and not evil all the days of her 
life” (Proverbs 31:10-12). 

Summer is a good time for vacation, especially if that vacation creates
a happy house.
