sorry guys but all this stuff just confirms how lucky I already knew I was, and I love her for so much more than just because of this -- but
she has as many books and magazines as I do, mine do not bother her a bit.
we are constantly in antiques stores, we both add to the collection, although her finds tend to be for the house, example - I had just built a workbench for the rod shop when we found a great antique one, thats out there now as well.
she rode out with me last night to look at a potential boat restoration project, (and I sure as heck don't NEED another project) her only concern was did I have a place to put it until I can get to do it, so that is does not deteriorate any furthur.
Her answer to the last Osthaus print I was actually going to leave hanging in the shop where we saw it was -- "have you seen it before and when will you see another one."
When our breeder emailed the group a few years a ago that a pup was available, she said "did you tell me we'll take him?" I laughed and told her I had not finished reading the email yet
. so a second setter joined the family.
Even the last Parker was only met with "its a good deal isn't it"
I know some guys are only enjoying making wife jokes, and for some they are unfortunately not jokes.
but no jokes here - I make sure every day she knows how I feel.
