Who needs flowers, When you can have JUNK from the DI


It is Parent Teacher Conference this week, which meant that I had Wed- Friday off. The kids still went to school half day on Wed. I seized the opportunity to go out and be by myself before they came home at noon. Well, I did some shopping and of course browsed the DI before I came home. I spotted a two piece Entertainment Center that I pictured as a corner hutch in my Sun room. After looking at the price tag of $70.00, I passed it up but still really wanted it. I got home and found a message from Ammon to call him. I called and at the end of our conversation I told him that I just came from the DI and saw this "cool" Entertainment Center that was $7o.oo, but didn't know if I should have bought it. It seemed like a lot for DI.. I told him he could go and look at it and get it if he wanted. I left it at that and secretly really wanted him to get it, but doubted that he would. Long Story- LONG, about an hour later he pulled up and needed help to unload it. WHAT A GREAT HUBBY I HAVE!!


I get so excited about a good find. Well, I went to work the same day .



and a day later- here's the result. I love it. We put bead board on the back and it looks awesome. I told Ammon that this could be my Valentines Present. He was so helpful and understanding of my weird ideas.



Thursday Morning as I was finishing up the painting, the doorbell rang and I made him answer it because I was still in my PJ's. It was flowers from him. What a sweetie! They are so pretty. The funny thing about the flowers was that the night before as we watched TV, a commercial came on advertising flowers for Valentines and I made the comment that he didn't need to get me flowers. I am more of a practical person. Needless to say, he had already ordered them and I am glad that he did. They are beautiful and the fact that he thought ahead was even greater.




We have names for each other that are rather mean if you think about it. But, we know the true meaning and it is all out of fun. He calls me "Big Mama" because of my rather LARGE physical appearance (HA!) So, I just return the comment with Fat Daddy and it has kind of stuck.

HAPPY VALENTINES DAY!!!! I am a very lucky lady. Ammon is so good to me and loves me despite of all my weird hobbies. Thanks hon- for EVERYTHING. You're the best.

Alison, You are a lucky girl. Your Mom wishes she could have found someone so thoughtful. And as for you, the creativity never stops. One man's junk is another man's (woman's) treasure.

Love you all and always,

Grandpa Bart
