He listens...sometimes

Some of you may know how well my husband listens and pays attention if you are a customer at his work. At home...not so much. I was completely shocked when he came home on Thursday night and surprised me with a present. One may think diamonds, flowers, etc. Nope. A hooded sweatshirt. I was very happy and excited for it, even if it was a sweatshirt. You see, back at the end of January, Joe and I went to a concert in Excelsior that was part of the North American Pond Hockey Tournament. His uncle, along with some friends run this tournament to benefit another friend who died unexpectedly last year. While we were there, all the wives of the tournament owners were wearing these
hooded sweatshirts with hockey laces. While at dinner, we heard there was only one more for sale, and it was a XXL, or something quite like that. Had there been one in my size, I would have for sure bought it. I didn't think anything of the sweatshirt since that night. I will proudly wear this sweatshirt and always remember that my husband does pay attention. Sometimes.
