Farmer Boy Recipe - for Domestic Happiness

• Mix together a couple of good eggs
• add 1 heaping spoonful of patience,
• a bunch of forbearance
• Cups of understanding (as much as is needed)
• Equal amounts of appreciation (for your mate)
• Gallons of the milk of kindness
• A pinch of salt (of the earth)
• A bit of spice (variety with humor)
• Plenty of sugar (hugs & kisses)
• For leavening - use a pleasant smile (a little goes a long way!)

Mix all these ingredients evenly in a bowl of common sense and bake in the pan of forgiveness, by the homefires of love.  (don't allow them ever to cool!) The result will be one large loaf of domestic happiness, which will be a life-long joy.
