| Christmas Humour I have been married since 1979. It is remarkable that my wife could last that long.
One of the secrets to a long lasting marriage is to give your spouse what they ask for.
This year I asked Nadine what she would like for Christmas.
Since we are going on a cruise to Mexico in January she told me she would like a light housecoat.
Never being one to miss an opportunity to please my wife I searched high and low. Not the easiest thing to find this time of year. So I did the next best thing I made her one!
I actually did find one and bought it, along with some sparkly jewelry. You can't go wrong with sparklies.
ps yes I know I put the sleeves on the wrong side and they look upside down!

You're obviously a man of many talents, Carl.

| I've heard some people say that scrolling is like using a sewing machine...so tell us, Carl, is using a sewing machine like scrolling?
It must be because you did a fantastic job!

| Carl, that is quite the "lighthouse coat". Do they have lighthouses in Mexico?
Bob, I did a little sewing a few years ago and I and when I was scrolling the other night I did have the impression that it was similar.

| Too funny Carl.
I'm crying from laughing so hard. I hope she has a great sense of humor, but something tells me that being married to you she would have to have one.
You must tell us what her reaction is.
Too funny.
