He loves a good steak and has a favorite place.

Four of us enjoyed dinner – we all had steak.

After getting home, we sat down to relax. I said what a good evening it was.

“I always enjoy my evenings with you.”

So I mentioned what a good meal it was.

“You always cook me a good dinner.”

Dropped the subject and an hour later he said, “Doug really enjoyed his steak.”

(Nothing shocks me now but back in 04, this was unreal to me that he could forget his night out and the fact we had steak just a couple hours ago.)

I got a chuckle today – our worker was leaving and we helped carry his various stuff to the door. I tried to pick one tool box up and couldn’t even lift it – my guy picked it up with one hand and the second one and casually walked out. He’s very strong, yet. I was proud of him – - -

All our married life (til 2003) we have never hired people for work – he did it all. Hung gyproc, taped it, painted, installed a 20 x 40′ in ground pool, painted exteriors, built decks, etc. – to perfection. So it’s very frustrating for me to have a guy let his caulking drip on my area rug!

The only thing we hired was for a concrete man to pour and finish our pool deck.

Feel badly for my man as the other night he moved the workers’ stuff and set it out of his line of sight. I think he felt badly.

Told him he did way better jobs but I’m glad he’s retired and can let other people do the work.

“Why, thank you, Honey.”
