My honey man has a really "FOUL" mouth when tool belt is slung across his hips. I have often wondered just how much the former tenets had to drink to make some of the changes they did.<br /><br />We are watering every night to keep our garden; it is a good thing we are on our own well. I took a picture at the zoo the other day that reminded me of your duck butt avatar. Hang in there and enjoy your hubby.<br /><br />Take care,<br />Happy Easter,<br />MalNekkid Chickenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08749417208223478262noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8934241482178099189.post-74122669692033707342011-04-20T08:45:44.905-05:002011-04-20T08:45:44.905-05:00That is soooo funny!

I don't like scary projects like plumbing fixtures and electricity that can open up all kinds of problems. Any kind of house has it's quirkiness. Next one I get is gonna be a cardboard box!

I hate to keep him working the whole time he is home, on the other hand, things need to be done. Once the project is done, he will be a happier camper. In the mean time, feed him well.
