Picture, if you will, a scene from the life of a newly wed couple. I'm thinking of the typical kitchen table. Perhaps there are pretty matching placemats (my west coast SIL made me some really cute ones) and a very pretty matching sugar, creamer, salt and pepper set. So sweet. Now let's look at the kitchen table of a, maybe, typical nerdy second-marriage couple. No placemats, unless company is coming, two lap tops (it turns out we like the same brand) two mice (mine is blue) multiple power cords. a cup of pencils, pens, scissors and a letter opener, and yes, somewhere in the array, salt and pepper shakers and a sugar bowl. I knew we were soul mates.
