Tools Not Jewels.

I’m one of those wives who loves when their husband buys new tools (in moderation of course). When I moved out on my own after college into an apartment by myself, I went out and bought all kinds of tools. My most favorite purchase? My DeWalt drill. It's almost a couple decades old and is still running great. So I get excited when Eric buys new tools for his workshop. This one is a new disc sander. He’ll be using it for all kinds of straight-edge sanding. Why he couldn’t use his thickness sander or his 3 belt sanders or his drum sander, I do not know. But I don’t care. I love new tools! (Except the two little hand drills that he said he needed for his workshops. I disagreed and made my sentiments known.) What tools of mine are Eric's favorite? Probably my snow blower! I used to love my snow blower, but now I do not get to use it. After marriage, snow removal became his job. Well, at least the driveway. I still do the front walkway, by 'shovel.'

  1. Does Eric chop all the ice at the end of the driveway?

  2. Yes. He does. And the only other person who would know that is my brother, since he bought him an ice chopper for that task.
