A Typical Conversation

Earlier this morning, as The Husband walked past me while I was here at my usual perch at the end of the kitchen counter, he and I had the following conversation.

Me:  "I want to show you something"  (pause, while I pull up the picture on Pinterest)

Me:  "Do you like it""  (showing him this picture of an Oriental rug)



Him:  "I like it.  It's interesting."

Me:  "Good, because it's ours."

Him:  "It is?"

Me:  "Yes, it is.  I saw it on the shop's site, and emailed them to ask if it was still available.  They sent a PayPal invoice, and now we own it."

Him:  "I was going to ask what you bought with the PayPal account.  (He pays the bills and keeps a close eye on the bank account.)

Me:  "Now you don't have to ask."

Him:  "Where are you going to put your new rug?"

Me:  "I'm not sure yet.  I'll figure that out when I pick it up."

Him:  (sighs, and walks back into his office, shaking his head.)

Covesville Store Antiques is one of my very favorite shops.  The place is full of the most wonderful items ... many of which you only hear about or see in photos in books.  They have a page on their web site that features new items, updated at least twice a week.  The good stuff sells quickly ... many times to online buyers like me.  Click HERE to see the latest items, and prepare to be amazed.

  3. My husband refuses to even look at the computer screen any more. Now, I show him on my phone or text him a picture so he has to see it but that does not guarantee a response.
