Needless to say I have been inspired to write this blog due to a real life experience.

My Mom took our girls last weekend, and they had a great time on a local farm. I missed them? My only comfort (LOL) was the weekend I would spend with my dear husband- Just the two of us.

I envisioned- lazy breakfasts in bed, walks at the Theler Wetland Trail, maybe a trip up to Mt. Rainier,warm campfires on a crisp evening, our favorite wine, intimate dinners, and late night talks.

My husband envisioned- starting a new remodeling project, ripping out a wall, Hoping to miss plumbing and important header beams, getting all of the supplies he needed at Home Depot. Dinah's company and food delivery.Coffee and a cup you can tip over without breaking. An extra trip to Home Depot to pick up what you forgot, or to find the right thing this time. And what do you top this blissful weekend off with...

A trip to the stinky dump, where you and your wife, wait in a long line of other happy couples- to enter the huge garbage room, soon it will be your turn to joyfully cast in all of your post construction debri, into a large pile of rotting refuse.Can you picture the looks we exchanged on that picture perfect day?

The next time we have a weekend alone,I am going to book a mini vacation at the Alderbrook Resort and Spa on Hood Canal in Mason County. I will have a car pick us up so that we can not possibly escape to Home Depot even if we wanted too!

Dinah -  I must confess . . .  I'm the one that is not allowed in Home Depot . . .  at least with a wallet or charge card.   I go crazy in there!!!  Hope your next 'romantic' weekend is in fact, romantic!

LOL... I've had those weekends many a times. Actually I love Home Depot but seems whatever the job is it'll always require more than one trip at least!

Boy was I laughing when I read this post.  We had a similar weekend, but we went to Lowes!  Isn't romance great!

Dinah, very funny.  Romance can happen anywhere---fortunately.  It is more about "willingness" than the "place" in my experience----and mostly it only happens when both people are willing at the place at the same time:)

I'm with your husband on this one. Home Depot is awesome! Nuts. Bolts. Doors. Windows. Lumber. Plants. Fertilizer. Fences. Lights. Nails. Do I need to go on? LOL

I'm reading this and what comes on the TV? A Home Depot commercial. Must be an omen...

This is so funny, I was at the Home Depot and went to the dump with my husband, - have pictures of the dump room- Our husbands must have gone to the same charm school.

Audrey- I do not know if I would call it Charm school. That is a blog in it's self. What would you call an education like this?

Russel- I am certain my husband would like the fact that you have his back on this one. I will let you know the next time we are in California, and he is having one of those Home Depot urges.

Everybody-What do you think of making this the next reallity show. Think celebrities, a house to flip, and Home Depot. I am not a big TV fan, but I would watch that. It would be as entertaining as survivor!

Richard- by your response I gather that you are on my husband's side. Can one of you manly men explain this one to me? Home Depot... is just like controlling the remote isn't it!-Dinah Lee
