Sticks and Stripes (with Plaids)

A little public affection ahead of Valentine's Day follows.

There are a lot of wonderful things about Steve. For instance, his fashion sense is impeccable.
 He also brings home strange and fascinating things.
So, that last picture probably warrants some explanation. On a few occasions, Steve has come across "cool sticks," usually at his work up on the UC campus. In one instance, he had me drive up to campus to retrieve a particularly cool stick that was too large for him to carry home on the bus. The stick in the above picture (which I had him place in the soft post-rain ground of our backyard for now) was one he had been talking about for awhile. I admit to not quite sharing his enthusiasm, but clearly this was because I didn't fully appreciate the level of coolness of this particular stick.

Finally the lure of the stick proved too much, and it arrived at our house this afternoon. I'm trying to come up with ways to incorporate it into our decor... 'cause it's admittedly a pretty darn cool stick.

My husband is adorable and awesome. That is all.

So what you're saying is, just because he's tall and hairy doesn't mean he isn't still a little boy inside?

That is indeed what I'm saying. :-) I feel fortunate when I come across those who retain positive qualities of youth (wonder, silliness and joy) combined with the advantages of maturity (kindness, wisdom and discipline, to name a few). I count Steve among them. He's way more fun than I am. And taller. And more hairy.

Well hooray for those last few, for sure!
