The Whole Package

May 14, 2009 | This Life | 4 comments

This afternoon, IZ installed the arbor he built. And for an encore, he’s busy making me dinner. I’m smitten. With the arbor and the darling man who kept me entertained all afternoon with raunchy innuendo about power tools. He’s the whole package.

    Well, I try. I’m glad I’m so entertaining. 😀 Great photo by the way. That is a fantastic view. I don’t think you would have been able to catch that pic without all of the work we’ve done… and by the way… you’ve done a lot too. We make a fantastic team.

    Someday, I might just video you so the world can see just how funny you are. Your whole thing on sod throwing for the Olympics was hysterical! I adore the arbor, thank you. Thank you.

    Of course, you know that if we put the lawn in next week, it means we’re going to move. Right? ~W

    Love the photo. So nice to see the Columbia. 🙂 Interesting my friend how we have learned to connect via your blog and I have been shopping furiously for an arbor also. I am looking for one with a bench. Gardeners like us are ever the optimist. I will use your photo for a little leverage with the husband.
    Rick, my ever-loving of 26 years has crammed grad school into 18 months while we have been living here on the prairie for the past two years. He “graduates” in a week and has a teaching contract here now for next year so he will finally be getting to that honey-do list. One of our reasons we moved from the beaver state, more teaching jobs. Have fun with the roses. Robin B.

    I crammed graduate school into 3 years! Ha! I can’t imagine doing it in 18 months. Wow! Congratulations to him. That’s certainly something to celebrate. Give him until August—he’s certainly earned the break! And besides, if he did graduate school in 18 months, he can whip out that list of yours in NO TIME! ~W

    “Package” is kind of a loaded word, Wen. I’m sure he IS the whole one though. Hee hee
