Anniversary Present
« on: November 20, 2007, 10:51:00 PM »
Thought I'd share a mildly humourous story.

Our 5th wedding anniversary was last week. According to the etiquette gods, that is designated as a "wood" anniversary.

Both of us were confounded as to what kind of present to get the other. I quickly gave up in exasperation due to a total lack of inspiration on my part, and decided to take my wife out for dinner instead.

This evening, she handed me an envelope with a card and a wooden clothespin hand-written with "happy 5th anniversary". My immediate response, aside from laughter, was to thank her for the thoughtful gift and also to enquire how she knew that I needed a draw length indicator.

The clothespin now sits in my tackle box with all of my other arrow mending tools.

Nice story.

Tomorrow is our anniversary.  Were are headed to northern Michigan for some hunting.  She told me the 7th one is wool.  I said well lets get matching Kromers... she said ok.  So we will be stopping by Jays Sporting Goods on the way by to find our Kromers!

Stay safe

Its not about the weapon used, its about the adventure involved.
