She said she moved all my stuff that was underneath the railroad table underneath the glass to a new safe location
But I don’t know where that is while she was cleaning and she hasn’t told me where that is yet
And you did remember to get her a nice Valintines present right?
Or… you may never know.
That’s not till tomorrow
But I didn’t[:(][:(][:S]
Uh oh, now that you think back, maybe you do remember passing a ‘Sam’s Auction’ truck as you came up the road to home?
Oh …I’m screwed Do you suppose a handwritten one will work guys for the morning that is
Hand made is always the best one … anyone can run out and buy one… but hand made, well that just says you really care to make it personal, just for her.
Okay …I’ll do that one… I’m working on that right now
Just a thought… after you make/finish that one, start on a second one, just a early start for next year’s card, don’t have to finish it, just start it. Then if just in case she says that ‘‘A ha you forgot, didn’t you dear?’’ You say ‘‘Why no sweety, see I start early, heres the one for next year that I have just started on, it takes me awhile to experss myself.’’
This should work, I really mean it
That’s wonderful writing. I hope you get your trains back.
You guys need to be more proactive about this. My Aniversary is January 20 and Valentines is February 14. I was 40 when I got married and year one I went to the store and bought 10 Aniversary cards and 10 Valentines cards. Ten years later I did the same thing and today I just restocked the hiding place in the trainroom office with another 10 years worth of cards. I’ll be 72 when it needs to be done again.
It’s like finances, people don’t plan to fail, they fail to plan.[oX)]
Why didn’t you buy her 10 years of flowers too?!? Too hard to hide I guess.[:o)][swg]

Very nice Track Fiddler! I’ll print that off and just cross out your name.[swg][(-D][(-D] Just kidding. I got Dianne a dozen roses.

The handwritten card flew. She liked it. I got greeted with a cup of coffee, a big smile and a hug this morning.
All my MR stuff was neatly put against the wall under the new bench work. I don’t know when she did that.
I will make sure I pick her up two dozen roses after work today. 23 yellow ones and one red one. We’ve had that thing going for 24 years.

I like the 10 cards in a hidden spot idea. That is brilliant, as long as she never finds that hiding spot[(-D][:#]
Nothing says love than some MR drama!
Up to the point where you say “Hon, do you remember where I hide the cards?”.
The following story is true, not a joke, but related to the topic. A local modeler and avid railfan, now deceased, had what you could call a strained relationship with his wife.
When I say “avid railfan” someone told me he had 100,000 35mm railroad slides going back to the 1940s. Someone else told me, no, it was only 40,000 or so. He’d either taken or purchased these slides.
They had a major argument. He stormed out of the house. She took an ice pick to ALL the slides. The only ones he had left were those that he had happened to lend to friends or book publishers at the time.
When he died his adult daughter took charge of selling his model trains and many books. I bought some books - some rare and hard to find ones. You had to meet her at odd locations for the transactions perhaps because the wife did not know what she was doing and would have burned everything. She charged a high but fair price. I assume the wife got the money.
May we all be spared from those sorts of family dynamics.
Happy Valentine’s Day (I got a nice card and gourmet cookies).

I have been married 31 years. We met in November, Christmas is in December, We Married in January, Valentine’s Day is in February, and her Birthday is in August.
.
That make 155 events where I have NEVER given her a gift.
.
I do nice things for her every single day. Being 100% broke when we started out created the no-gifts tradition. This has been good for the marriage.

Wow Dave, that is quite a story. [:O]
Everythings good here.
We’re kinda like Kevin with the gift things. Only occassionally would we gift each other.
Yea, everything is fine.
So TF, if you ever come back to this thread, did you get your track yet?
Mike.
