What ever happened to the time honored tradition of breaking new years resolutions 2 days after you make 'em? My wife spent a bundle on tubs and shelves and dry erase boards to keep the household humming. Humming? I'm howling! I love my wife, but, c'mon! I was happy the way things were. You seem like the kind to embrace the 'can't teach an old dog new tricks' philosophy. Help!
Dear Loved His Wife But One,
I KNOW you did not just call Helen an old dog, did you?

| "Uh-oh, got to skeedaddle." You can run but you can't hide, bucko. You think Helen can't follow the trail of mowed grass and flop sweat? |
As for helping you with your domestic situation?

| I can't believe he bought that - I mean a WOMAN in 1957 with a DREAM? |
The only thing domestic that Helen has any interest in is the occasional glass of wine.

| Helen doesn't even believe in domesticating her men. Howdy, partner, got me a 97 cent bowtie and a fancy shirt to show no woman can tame me. She can DRESS me but she can't tame me. |

| BTW out on a limb is the only place Helen would allow you to eat this stuff.. I don't care how E-Z they make the can, we are not having this in our house. |
Trying new things is what keeps us young!
Besides, haven't you ever heard the motto - Happy wife, happy life?
So be a good boy and who knows, instead of feeling like an old dog, it just might give you a new leash on life. (I HAD to say it. I know you were all thinking it). Have a great week, y'all!

Love the bride photo. Trying to identify her will confound many future generations of your family. :)
ReplyDeleteYes, I can see them puzzling. They had it framed, she MUST be someone in the family!
ReplyDeleteThe bride photo is so sweet but I'm not sure about the models you've been showing lately. Although now that I think of it, I may have seen one of those cabana sets on someone here in Florida! heheehee! Hugs!
ReplyDeleteJust having too much fun with a 1957 Montgomery Ward catalog! I hope those Cabana sets were on toddlers or spry ol gents.
DeleteLife just hasn't been the same since they stopped selling Spam in the e-z open top! Hope you have a great week:@)
ReplyDeleteIf anything should be E-Z it should be SPAM!
DeleteSeriously. do people really eat Spam. In Kentucky, plenty of people eat "veye-ennies" known in the civilized world as Vienna sausages. Or is there any part of the civilized world that eats them? :)
ReplyDeleteLOL.Hubby Hartman actually chased me down the aisle at the Kroger with a can vee-nees sawsuges this weekend! They creep the bejebus outta me.
DeletePeople who don't understand buying pix of someone else's relatives just don't know the value of cute. If that dress doesn't say Grace Kelly I don't know what does! We'll send our children to therapy when we die to understand our obsessive compulsive collection of strange old magazines and vintage goodies; it'll give them something to spend my life insurance money on!
ReplyDeleteSince my kids were little I made them repeat the mantra - ESTATE sale, not yard sale for what to do with my stuff when I am gone.
DeleteLove that kitty pitcher and the Picture of the Bride.
ReplyDeleteReally great finds!
p.s. I kinda liked the cabana set. *lol*
You would look super cool in that set!
DeleteWhat a fun post....and everyone needs a bride picture of someone they don't know! I am so glad you do these posts- I always leave smiling...xo Diana
ReplyDeleteThanks - your posts always leave me smiling so we're even. I bet that not something people say about a pair of such potentially unbalanced gals like us very often!
DeleteFunny stuff! I loved the 'leash on life'. Ha!
ReplyDeleteThanks for coming by!
DeleteWhat a fabulous frame and vase. I'm totally smiling reading this post. A perfect way to start my morning!
ReplyDeleteThanks. I got those things for a song, well not really, if I had burst into song they probably would have chased me away.
DeleteNothing like starting off the new year with a good laugh...oh goodness...your photo selection is really the best! Love to know...do you have them all organized? I'm sure you'd have to because you must have thousands :)
ReplyDeleteLOVE that cat pitcher...toooooo cute... and the new plastic frame is darling...I can relate with the "fake relatives" that the children will have to wonder about ~ lol!! Happy New Year Annie!!
Thanks for the good laugh in return! Organized? Hahahahaha. I have a library of magazines and booklets. They are boxed and bagged but no rhyme nor reason :)
Deleteyou gave that mean husband what he deserved and how! xo
ReplyDeleteHelen tries never to give people what they deserve - she could never be THAT mean ;) Thanks for coming by!
DeleteSimply delightful blog! Thanks for introducing yourself. I'm your newest follower, Mary Alice
ReplyDeleteYour blog is beautiful - thank you for coming by!
ReplyDeleteOMG, Spam. I remember my brothers eating that when we were kids. I didn't eat it, cause I couldn't identify what it was. LOL Cute blog. Thanks for visiting me.
ReplyDeleteThanks for visiting back. My son tried SPAM recently. He kept asking me - What is this SUPPOSED to taste like? I had no clue.

ReplyDeleteAnother great post to make me smile. I love that little cat jug, dee x
ReplyDeleteThanks - I may have to start drinking something that requires cream in a pitcher.
DeleteI agree, all I know about your cat pitcher is that I want it, bad.
