I've so often read in this forum about little tokens of love from many a quilter's DH.....they have varied, but have all been very touching as this quilter read them. Last weekend I had my very own moment when my husband and I were away in Prescott, AZ.
On Saturday we attended the Thumbe Butte Quilt Show and though I offered him the opportunity to drop me off and go off on his own, he elected to stay by my side simply saying he would take photos of all my favorite quilts (there were lots of them) so I could simply enjoy them. For three hours he remained steadfast with not one complaint, though he did comment about an hour and a half into it that it appeared he was the "only man" in attendance. Thankfully, later we saw more such wonderful men as we made our rounds through three buildings of quilts and vendors selling their wares.
While this was certainly a loving gesture on his part, the best part for me came at breakfast at the hotel the next morning....The buffet breakfast area was jam packed with people and it was obvious many were there for sporting events....At one point a fellow at the next table leaned over and asked my husband, "Are you here with the Baseball team?" My DH simply said with a straight face....."No I'm here with the Quilting Team." Too funny! I told him this was a "Memory Day" for sure and to be sure he scored some big points that day. See my other post for the beautiful photos he took for me. http://www.quiltingboard.com/t-128804-1.htm |
