Guess What???

For several years now I have been slowly saving my money to buy DH a
Grandmother clock (a grandfather is too big for our house), for our tenth
anniversary. He loves clocks and has always wanted one of those. Fri night
our town had a midnight madness sale. We found a clock, that was made be a
local craftsman, in an antique shop. Wade said how much he liked it, so I
asked him if he wanted it. Well his answer was, "yeah, but we can't afford
it." Sooooo, I bought it right then and there, and told him I had been
saving up for one for years. Happy Anniversary Honey! (Well, it's not until
Feb., but so what, he can enjoy it for a longer time!) We've had fun
co-coordinating the clocks. We have a mantle clock that chimes, a coo coo,
and now the grandmother. Eventually, they will chime in rotation. ;-)

Norma,
I LOVE Grandmother clocks myself! And cuckoo clocks! A grandfather is
too big (and too expensive) for our home as well.
Congrats on the early anniversary present, I think it's fantastic, AND, I
didn't care that you forgot the OT!
LOL,
Hugs,
Noreen

Good for you, Norma! I love pulling surprises like that.
Have fun with the clock.

Norma, I just love "noisy" clocks!! We have a grandfather, a mantel, 2
cuckcoos, a Christmas Song clock and a singing bird clock that all make
music!! It sounds so cool when they all sound off in succession, but it
takes a bit of work......well worth it to me!! That's all.....back to
lurkdom......

Norma,

What a wonderful gift even if it was early, who cares. It must have really
surprised him. Now I wonder what he will get you.

Hugs,

Nora

Great story, though. Hope it gives a lifetime of pleasure!

Thanks everyone, he is just so proud. Now if we can make it work perfectly,
I will be too.
As for his gift to me? My brother has rented a home in Mazatlan for the
month of Feb. and has invited us to visit while he is there. If I can get DH
on a plane, we might just go. Probably be the only time we'll ever have a
chance.

Now THAT's what I'd call an anniversary gift TOO. Good luck on
getting him on a plane, mine hasn't flown since Vietnam.....

How nice, Norma! If I were you, I would drug him and wake him up when you
deplane. g
