In praise of Doug

I have a exceptional husband. When I married him we were in our forties. My second marriage, his first. Yes, he was a 40 year old bachelor, never married, never lived with a girlfriend, set in his ways.

So I changed all that and on top of it all dragged him out to the country. Yes, he was a lifelong city boy.

As you know, it is often tricky to get someone out to do construction and maintenance when you live miles from nowhere. This amazing man has learned to fix things on his own, with no previous experience. He has embraced electrical work, plumbing, carpentry, and now mechanics. Recently he has stripped down and refurbished two motorcycles and a lawn tractor. Currently he is working on two more motorcycles and yet another lawn tractor. He fixes the quad as well and recently been eyeing the old diesel tractor.

I love him and his ability to adapt to these new skills is amazing.

Sounds like a pretty cool guy.

Sound like you need never threaten him with cement shoes! A good man is a good thing to have!

Hmmm.....you don't need fairies at all!

aww, so nice to hear you say such nice things about your man, hope you told him all this too, seems like all too often people gripe aobout their significant other, love to hear the brags!

Sue Doug sounds like an absolute gem. He's a keeper

Sounds like a keeper for sure. I know I am one to gripe about my man but I love him to bits and appreciate everything he does here too.
Make sure Doug knows what you tell us, we all need to be told how special and wonderful we are sometimes. Especially men.

It's just a guy thing. We are all pretty much incredible .

no thats just you Dan...

I am feeling especially appreciative because today is our 10 year anniversary.

Despite his imperfections and belief in the presence of farm fairies, he is a pretty great guy. Almost as wonderful as Dan.

Oh cool, sounds like you got a keeper . Wow, you turned a 40 year old bachelor city kid into a 50 year old married farm boy, smiling again. Now if that isn't just ding darn cool, not sure what is. Yay, hug that man and keep him, good men are good to have, I have one too!! Have a beautiful day, CynthiaM.

10 years already! Oh wow!!!
Happy anniversary.

I can defintiely vouch that Doug is a keeper. A wonderful man in every way.

The only thing better then a good man is our great women.
