Where I Sit .. by Joe Marsh
Where Cissy Spent Her Honeymoon

Most of the young newlyweds in our town spend their honeymoon at Roundstone Lake or Jackson Falls; why the Martins even went as far as New York City.

But when Cissy Cupper married the young Carter boy, they allowed as how they were going to spend their honeymoon right here.

"There's no place better than our town," Cissy says. "And I'd like to start married life at home, with things Bud and I are used to."

Makes sense, come to think of it. Folks naturally left them alone;

and except for occasional visits to the Garden Tavern for a glass of beer, they stayed at home, getting used to married bliss.

My missus prefers traveling - and that's her right. But from where I sit, there's no place better for a honeymoon - or second honeymoon - than right at home - with your own possessions, good home cooking, and a friendly glass of beer or two with the best companion in the world.
