THE Shorts

I have been waiting for two weeks to get time to write this post.

David and I are approaching our 5th wedding anniversary, and have known each other for almost 8 years. In all that time, I have NEVER seen him wear shorts (other than basketball shorts for exercising). I guess that is because he hasn't owned any. In fact, he hasn't had a pair of shorts since Jr High. Like 15 years ago. They've just never been practical. At home school clothes turned into farm work clothes in the summer, and you just don't haul pipes in shorts.

A couple of years ago I tried to buy him a pair. They turned out to be too small and we returned them to the store. I tried again this year for his birthday, with the same result. Only this time he went with me to the store to return them and found some he liked. He has been wearing them golfing, and around a few other places and has declared them a success.

Not that this a all that unusual--I know plenty of men who don't wear shorts (and women for that matter). But I am just taking a good opportunity to tease him.

SO--here are the pics--sheild your eyes from the glare of legs that haven't seen sun in over 15 years.....




Go sweets!!

Side note--I realize pictures of the back yard may be slightly incriminating. Mom--yes, your flower beds are full of grass. If you look close you can see the flowers in there somewhere. But--the rose bushes are beautifully pruned and you have some absolutely stunning peonies out back. Lots of 'em. Maybe I'll get some pictures of that to post next to make up for the grass =).
