Love…will it last?

Last night I watched the television show

“The Bachelor”.

I haven’t watched the show at all this season, but curiosity got the better of me last night.

I just wanted to see who was chosen.

O.K., those promotion ads lured me in!  I’m a sucker for a good sales pitch.  (Keep me away from those infomercials!)

I must admit,

I have a hard time watching someone be so passionate about so many different women all at the same time-and expecting it to mean something.

(Apparently, so did the girl who was chosen.)

I also felt so much empathy for the girl who thought she was going to be chosen, but wasn’t.  

For me,

real love means :

friendship

respect

trust

patience

caring

sacrifice

service

loyalty

and waiting

Can you get those things while dating so many women at the same time and with the whole world watching?

I think it would be very hard.

My parents knew what real love was.

This picture was taken just before my dad left for the army during World War Two. 

Now they knew what LOVE was!

P.S.  I do think that the scenery in South Africa (on the show) was spectacular!

I’m putting in on my Bucket List.

P.P.S.  I was going to post our recipe for Cauliflower Soup tonight, but when I got home from work I found someone had finished it all off and I didn't get any pictures!
Guess I'll wait until the next time we make some.
