You can usually figure out why he bought what he bought but you might have to think a while.

"The old stupid one is out". I THOUGHT they were supposed to be 'Smart' appliances!!! They are anything BUT. It takes a genius to know how to operate them, and geniuses are actually few and far between. Average Joes are much more common, and we're the ones that buy these STUPID machines because we're told that they'll make our lives much easier. NOPE! I don't want a machine smarter than I am, in my house. And I have an IQ of 161! So, long story short, good job on picking the true SMART machine, Bonnie! (BTW, in my household, we buy our own gifts, with the blessings of the other, so that sounds like your 'motto', too!)Rhonda Albrechthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13405897538803396473noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13569819.post-25853536760860730332019-05-14T08:16:33.423-04:002019-05-14T08:16:33.423-04:00LOL!

Thank you everyone! Guess who did not receive one thing from hubby for last Christmas?? Yep, not even chocolate! Nothing for Mother's Day either - but we did go out to a steak dinner! For our 43rd wedding anniversary, also on Mother's Day this year, we went on Saturday to the Philadelphia Temple, to celebrate being married in the Salt Lake Temple 43 years ago. My children gave me a block of knives for Mother's Day. I remembered a murder movie from years ago and reacted badly to even having them in the house. But they are out in his car now, so I am safe from murderers.Ruthhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17128379696456444487noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13569819.post-59584680215847957512019-05-14T07:25:44.169-04:002019-05-14T07:25:44.169-04:00If you're supposed to have a giggle everyday, ...If you're supposed to have a giggle everyday, I have about a months worth from todays posts.

His sisters shopped for me for Christmas, after the first year, when he got me an electric blanket (which I was thankful for). But what his sisters picked out for me, rarely was anything I would want for myself. One year they did get me a Birthday present of a beautiful cross, from them, not him!<br />Dishwashers, in my new house, I have one that has the controls on the top of the door, yep, you have three seconds to close the door, after you push the button. I had to get the manual out to learn how to use it, too!<br /><br />Funny things to make us chuckle. I am glad You got your new dishwasher for the Inn!<br /><br />Donna<br />Kasilof, AKDonna Endresenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09161370395006714301noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13569819.post-68286337441604243582019-05-14T02:45:31.120-04:002019-05-14T02:45:31.120-04:00How you made my heart sing thin morning.

I am, and always will be a Rhodesian by birth and choice. Rhodesia is now named Zimbabwe, but in our hearts home is Rhodesia, and for the many of us who left in the late 70's and early 80's our hearts still long for the good ol days! We are Rhodies! Thank you for tying my heart in a knot this morning. I love reading your posts and seeing your beautiful country. Maybe one day a visit to you QuiltInn will be a reality as I have gone through every moment with you on your lovely renovation. Thank you for my morning treat every morning, I so look forward to opening and seeing what is on your menu for the day!

One year was a rake - we already have one - but for my 40th I received a CD - fair enough it was by someone I liked - but he said he'd already listened to it and the first 2 tracks were the best and the others were rubbish! Well thank you - a now used CD and I'll be the judge of what songs are good or not. At the same time he bought on behalf of our little ones. A really drab dried flower arrangement - it was brown, all brown! Now if I could have cut that into smaller pieces it might not have been so ugly. Plus a watering can to add to the other 3 watering cans that I had over previous years - the only one I really liked was one that I bought! But after I returned the favour for him (and he wasn't happy but hey ho hint hint) it was decided that we'd buy our own presents in future. He did make a better effort for my 50th and I had a chicken house and 3 chickens. Always wanted chickens so that was super. Plus I think I've done better over the years with fabrics, sewing machines and gadgets for sewing (including rulers)! Happy sewing everyone! :DKerryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00237828174807811725noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13569819.post-82290488269537908632019-05-13T21:15:22.545-04:002019-05-13T21:15:22.545-04:00In our early years I got those soft fishing worms ...In our early years I got those soft fishing worms for catching bass.

She helped unload my car, saw the present and had to open it right away. She laughed and laughed and loved it. And she got a big kick of telling everyone at work on Monday what she got for Mother's Day!<br />My mom and dad ate all that popcorn and asked for another one!CindyDhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05161939737925672110noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13569819.post-14768259029239874512019-05-13T14:12:45.174-04:002019-05-13T14:12:45.174-04:00Quiltville Inn with the Rhodies blooming out front...Quiltville Inn with the Rhodies blooming out front is so pretty! I could just live there! Of course, I'd need a couple maids and a yard guy to keep things looking good. LOL I think a lot of men just aren't good at presents. You have the Pasta Pot story, I have the deep fat fryer story. Never did use it and I'm not sure if it went on a garage sale or to the Good Will. Never have gotten flowers. Most presents run to something like cheap plastic bowls for him to put his cleaned fish in. I guess what takes the cake is the last anniversary it was a pound of fudge. I'm diabetic.

A Card and some Chocolate is what I got from my hubby who used to remind me I'm not his mom. The best year I got 6 Rose bushes planted in my front yard. I'd been away at a PTA Conference. We Used to get flowers at Church, one year it was a small pot of Chives, lol. My Bishop knows better now, we got Utah Truffle Bars. Yummy, melt in my mouth goodness. I'm not complaining.

Long story why we had to delay building a house, but we started w a 24x32' garage and rough-finished it inside to live in for a few months. We ended up living there (family of 5) for over three years, while also trying to tame a piece of land. Money was tight, and my mom focused on practicalities. She asked for trash barrels for her birthday one year. My dad owned a small machine shop, and his bookkeeper was aghast. "You can't buy your wife trash cans for her birthday!!" But.... she wants trash cans for her birthday. And he bought them. And she was pleased. ;) Another year, she asked for insulated coveralls bc it was so cold while doing chores. The bookkeeper though my dad was daft, but the gifts made mom's daily life easier.
