You know how you just have those moments...
Those magic moments when you're
absolutely
positively
unmistakably
sure that you married the right person?
I had just such a moment last night
after returning from the Paper Cowgirl retreat.

Completely out of character for him, my husband announced
that he and a buddy had stopped at an estate sale that afternoon
before I arrived home, and that he had picked something up for me.

He wasn't sure if I'd like it, or if it was my "style",
but asked me to take a look anyway.

My non-junkin' hubby picked up the most absolutely perfect,
chippy kitchen scale for the rock-bottom price of $5!

He has that F&T charisma too! Lisa

ReplyDeleteOh it's such a beauty of a scale.. love! How very nice of your husband to bring that home for you! I think he *is* knowing your style!! ♥ :))
ReplyDeleteHi Anne! Oh, how sweet! What a wonderful scale! I know you're going to make pretty with it.
ReplyDeleteNow I do believe you have a wonderful honey! :)
Be a sweetie,
Shelia ;)
That's a great bargain!
ReplyDeleteSounds like he's slowly getting the junking bug! Just wait - it won't be long and he'll be an all out junker with the rest of us! Soon...Susan
ReplyDeleteAnne, It's a beauty! And what a gem of a HD to find and pick up for you. Kudos on that training!
ReplyDeleteMy HD does laundry...tee hee (that's why half of my wardrobe has those little furry balls all over them!!!)...but he doesn't bring me treasures such as yours!
Maureen
Okay, I usually read all of your comments,
ReplyDeletebut there are way to many and I have way too
many chores to catch up on!!!
But, at the risk of repeating someone else's,
I think that it is so wonderful that he
knows you this well. There can be no greater
gift on earth than to feel that one is KNOWN
by another....especially if that person is your
best friend and hubby. Lucky girl!
xx Suzanne
I have the best idea ... let's sign up for that tv reality show "Wife Swap" ... you {sweet Texas Gal} comes to New Jersey to live with my husband {who doesn't "get it"} two miserable teenagers, one 4 yr old, and two dogs in a broken down house ... me, I get Mr.Perfect {that'd be your husband} NO kids, a house on the ranch in TEXAS and well .... I guess I still got two dogs to take care of ... sounds fair, right ??
ReplyDeleteI didn't think you'd go for it ; )
Miss ya ... I've been busy ; (

Jill
very very sweet!!! He's a keeper.
ReplyDeleteGlad you enjoyed the Paper classes- it must've been fun to meet all of those people, esp. Lisa. Your tags are wonderful!!

ReplyDeleteHappy summer days to you.
That James is hard to beat!! What a guy:)
ReplyDeleteWhat a sweetieyour husband is, and what a gorgeous set of scales! I think you have a keeper there Anne:-)~ Tina xx
ReplyDeleteYup, he's a keeper! Mine brought me home 4 old watering cans once. I guess that sometimes they really do 'get' us!
