So it's taken me close to 25 years but I'm pretty certain I'm going to hang onto my DH now. Funny, I thought once he retired he'd drive me nuts, but it's been quite the opposite. I love having him around during the day and evenings now. He is happy to run errands with me, go to the movies at the spur of the moment, dinner out once a week - we've had a lot more dates recently. Nice.
On top of all that yesterday I told him since we had two broody Silkies that I was planning on picking up 1/2 dozen eggs tomorrow for the girls to hatch. He thought that sounded like a good idea. Then I casually mentioned that gosh darn it, I really need a new grow out pen for my juveniles. I sure do love having chicks in the spring and it would be nice if they had a good grow out pen to replace that piece of junk kit coop in the back yard...
"We don't have room for another coop"
"Yeah, we do if we're getting rid of that junky one, it can go right there".
"Why do you need another coop"?
"For the babies - isn't it fun to have babies every year? We don't need to keep them all. We'll re-home them. I just like hatching and playing with them is all".
"Where are you going to get another coop"?
"Well, actually - I kind of already signed up to be on the big 2013 VF World Coop Building Tour again. He does such nice work and has different designs and you'll be around to help and it's fun to visit and have dinner together. Remember how cool that was last year"?
"Yeah. Okay I guess. That should be fine".
Whew! I guess we're ready for the summer tour!
