Saturday Spin
Lee’s new position at work has kept him busy this January. He’s been working a lot of extra hours, especially on the weekend. On Friday morning, he asked if I would go with him to Harbor Freight in New Jersey. I know Jersey well enough to not need a map and even though we have a Tom Tom navigation device, Lee feels more comfortable with me going with him. Lee loves Harbor Freight because there are all kinds of tools and gadgets. He’s like a kid in a toy store touching and looking at every item.
Truthfully, I didn’t want to go to Harbor Freight. It’s boring for me because although I like tools, I think we have more than our share of them. Yet, I decide to go because I know how hard he has been working and could use some shopping time. Plus, we always go out to eat and I stop at the Home Goods store on the way back.So I found a shop stool and sat in the middle of Harbor Freight reading a book as Lee filled the basket with all sorts of gadgets. Almost two hours later, he was done and very happy with his wagon full of tools.
As we checked out, I pulled out some super Harbor Freight coupons. I love the 2011 printable 20% off codes (this one goes to April 2011) and the free gift coupons as well. Lee laughed when he saw I had coupons for his shop!
On Sunday Lee is still on cloud 9 and whispers in my ear on his way out. “Thank you. I really needed that this weekend.” I smiled…..but the truth is, it’s so little compared to how much he does for our home and how much he gives to me……So Grateful.
Hugs,
marlene
