Fending for Myself

My amazing husband works for Ritchie Bros. Auctioneers. He travels lots to sales all over Canada and a few in the United States. John is very passionate about being an Auctioneer and supporting all areas of the company from Sales, Yard, and Customer Service staff. Yes, my hubby can “talk” fast . However the skill of bid calling and being an auctioneer are much more in depth than possessing the quality of being a fast speaker! If that’s the only quality they needed to posess - clearly I’d be very wealthy with my natural ability. He he…

My Texan is on the road for a couple weeks, leaving me at home to fend for myself. I’m really hard done by, I know. Not likely – I get so much done when he’s away so that I can enjoy the time even more when he’s closer to home. I miss my soul mate when he’s away – however we thrive on quality time.

I giggled so hard when I saw this cartoon! Obviously the child and pet are out of the picture for us for the time being. John has a blast when he’s on the road and that is so satisfying. My talented husband loves what he does for a living. If you love what you do – you never work another day in your life.

Hubby Recognition

I am truly blessed to have an absolutely amazing husband. He’s been doing more than his share of chores for our household and has knocked out my entire “honey-do” list!

My chef loves to cook and had dinner when I got home from my first day of my new contract. John used the new Tortilla Press he got as an early Birthday present from his parents.

To prepare our Tex-Mex inspired dinner – Fajitas:

Then last night he surprised me with this gorgeous looking and out of this world tasting Strawberry Daiquiri:

After dinner our deck, I was admiring the yard and he commented that he’d picked “some” weeds! WOW – thank you.

(Warning: please ignore our dead trees! I mean our gorgeous copper colored cedars. We’ve learned our lesson that the beautiful $15 Canadian Tire trees that Lethbridge showcases – do not survive in our backyard.)

I started squinting from my seat – trying to figure out what caught my eye.

“John, what are those 2 green piles?”
“Oh, those are the weeds I picked!” he replied with a poker straight face.
“So…why are they still in the rock bed”
“I left them for you; to see all the weeds I’d pulled!!” John commented very proudly.

Priceless…I love it!! John, I’d like to publicly recognize your hard work. Thanks babe.

Then, I looked to the other side of the yard. I snickered back, “Did you get bored of pulling weeds after you’d done an awesome job on the first side?”
Ya AND it was in the shade, which wouldn’t help my tanning!”

I told him I’d help finish the other side (which was now in the sun), but I couldn’t resist capturing this beautiful sight first.
