Big LOL. That sounds like something I might have done. My husband never wrote
poems, and his letters (we lived states apart for a while after I met him) were
o.k., except I seem to remember that I did correct his spelling of Tucson (he
switched the s anc c as I recall). But we, like you and your husband, did
survive that and have been married for 44 years.
still chuckling over your story,
Cindy
