The Anniversary Gift.
Peaceful Picnic Spot
Im still laughing. Woody gave us the perfect anniversary gift. I received a 6 day all expense paid trip to LA to see my Mom. Alone. I get to see my Mom and friends on my own, and have a bit of alone time, always a welcome thing for me... He gets 6 days of no nagging, eats what he wants and does what he wants, (and he doesnt have to go to the place where his Mom died when we werent there, the same nursing home )... and can sell as much of the shop inventory at what ever price he wants without me there to bitch. I leave Dec 2 and will be back the 8th, just in time for the major holiday rush we hope. How did he do it? We were such good kids on the Ohio trip, watching our pennies that we had over 1000.00 left in that kitty. That will just cover the package air room car and some meals...I have some cash in my stash jar for fun stuff...
Its a bit of a miracle and perhaps a Divine Appointment...
Do you all get the joke? I figured this out while sitting near this area in my car eating lunch and I began to laugh so hard that the fishing guys (old retired guys that fish everyday and dont catch anthing, just stay out of the wifes hair this way) looked at me like I was crazy... But Woody has learned something from them and about me. Absence makes the heart grow fonder...
