Monica and Larry found no place good enough for their honeymoon. Even NYC and Paris paled in comparison to the amazing experiences they had had on their space flights. They decided to build “Heart’s Desire,” a satellite city.
Money was no problem; they knew the rudiments ofasking for government grants. Thus “Heart’s Desire” was founded.
Government lost thirty billion dollars. Only fifty-seven couples ever passed NASA’s physical test. Monica and Larry called it quits. Monica married the architect and honeymooned in Houston. Larry married the receptionist and honeymooned in Phoenix.
Taxpayers shelled out thirty billion.

ABOUT ME
Hello. To various folks I am Neat’nee, Mom, Grandma Neta, Gramma, Aunt Neta, Aunt Noni, Aunt Neno, and Aunt Neto (lots of varieties from little nieces and nephews). To some I’m more like “Didn’t you used to be my teacher?” or “Don’t I know you from someplace?” To you, perhaps, I am a Fellow Blogger. Not “fellow” like a male or a guy, but “fellow” like a companion or an adventurer. I would choose to be Grandma Blogger, and have you pull up a chair, my website before you, while I tell you of some days of yore. I have experienced life much differently than most of you. It was and is a good life. I hope to share nuggets of appreciation for those who have gone before me and those who come after me. By necessity you are among those who come after me and I will tell you of those who came before. Once upon a time in a little house on a prairie - oops, change that lest I commit plagiarism - and change that “house on the prairie” to “dugout on the prairie.” So my story begins...
Sweet aroma 
Haha❤️❤️
