We each contribute in our own way

Tom and I both took 2 days off of work last week to make a 4 day weekend.  We both had our own ideas as to how to best spend our time off.

I chose to meet up with friends in CT for a couple of nights at a country Inn.  The weekend started with me meeting my Long Island chum Amy on the coast of CT for lunch.
The afternoon starts out innocent enough
The champagne clearly has an effect on Amy
Luckily, I am able to maintain my dignity
Amy and I continue on to the Inn and meet up with our friends Ann Marie and Connie.  Two full days of fine dining and spa treatments ensue.

Quote of the weekend:  "Another round please"


Tom took a decidedly different approach to his time off:
Isn't this fun dad?
24 hours of back-breaking work later and Tom's halfway there!

Lest you think I didn't contribute in a useful manner at all, I DID take the pendant lights that hang over the stove down to clean them.  Feel free to admire the fruits of my labor:

The replacement should run us a couple hundred bucks

  2. Ann, once again you prove that marriage is not about hard work and compromise...it's more about giving your spouse the personal space needed to complete all the household chores. You're wonderful.

  3. Cathy, thank you for recognizing my largesse.

    I have heard so many "marriage experts" go on about how marriage is a commitment between two people to work together, in God's love, to reach a common goal.

    POPPYCOCK! Divorce court is FILLED with these losers.

    Marriage is a 24/7 commitment to Ann's happiness.

    Simple really.
