The home office has been in the market for a boat the past few months. I cannot tell you how much time and printer toner he has spent looking for just the right one. Last month he made the declaration he may wait another year to buy "our" boat because he had missed out on a couple of SeaRays he really wanted. So, I thought the boat was a moot point - until today.
I couldn't for the life of me figure out why he was so amiable about me going to estate sales with my mom and aunt. He even suggested I go and "have fun". After sixteen plus years I should have had a clue something was amiss. When I asked him what he and the kids were going to do while I was away I was told they were going to run to the hardware store.
When I drove up to the house this afternoon there was a white Suburban much like ours out in front of our house with a boat behind it. I thought to myself, wonder who is here? Then it hit me, you know when you get that sinking feeling deep down in your gut, I think that is our truck. I backed up and looked and sure enough it was our licence plate on the white Suburban. Why did our truck have a boat attached to it?
Oh, that would be because it is "our" boat. DLS is so lucky our neighbor Dave and his kids decided to stop over with cookies right about the time I could finally put together a complete sentence.
The boat will be fun, I can sit and read while he drags the kids around the lake. I am just wondering if he would be as understanding if I went out and bought a '65 Mustang like I have always wanted when I told him I was going to the hardware store?
