Old Saying. . . .
My husband, being an astute shopper, as well as an
employee at a large local hardware store, keeps an eye on
all the closeouts and sales where he works. One evening he
came in the door as usual, we exchanged our usual 'glad to
see you' affection, then I noticed that 'I've got a
surprise for you' look on his face. He held up two large
sacks filled with items. In the two sacks were eight
candleholders for 25 cents apiece, because he knows I love
candles. The other sack contained ten bottles of window
cleaner, which closed out for 50 cents each. I loved the
gifts, but was overwhelmed with the quantity so I
asked, "Honey! What did you do? Buy everything but the
kitchen sink?" He grinned in his impish way and motioned
for me to follow him. He is so good at that impishness I
never know just what will occur next. Full of curiosity
and love for my interesting husband, I followed him out to
the car. He slowly opened the truck and low and behold!
There was the kitchen sink! He grinned at me again and
told me he couldn't leave such an expensive sink there
when it cost next to nothing! I guess I'll have to find a
different 'old saying' in the vernacular when it comes to
my husband!
