    Just take the load onto your broad shoulders Earl, and maybe later you can be hog butcher of the kitchen and slice yourself a nice ham sandwich.

    Brian, you make an excellent point here. Now, if my wife shouted at me that she needed me to come to the yarn store with her, I’d be there in a shot and we might spend 1) all day and 2) a week’s pay.

    I love Pickles bc it reminds me of the days when families prayed together, stayed together and were the strongest roots in our communities.

    Just tell her you are with your grandson so you can’t go today, that you and your grandson are busy right now.

    It looks like that Opal’s in charge of Earl’s coin…

    I want to know why any wife Opals age would even want her husband to go to a fabric store.

    Why on earth would Opal want Earl to go to the fabric store with her? Does she go to the hardware store with him? I will never, ever, understand some women—and I’m a woman.

    My stepdad (RIP) loved to go shopping. The only store he wouldn’t go into with mom was the fabric store! He’d take a book & sit in the car.

    Why does he NEED to go? We know Opan can drive herself around. My husband goes to the fabric and quilt shop with me when I don’t want to drive. The ladies at the quilt shop love him; he finds fabric (he knows all of the sections), he puts bolts away for them, etc. Or, sometimes he just sits behind one of the cutting counters and talks to people. He’s great at finding fabric for me with cats on it.

    If she had let him watch his baseball game, I think he would be more inclined to go with her without complaining.

    Love that he sits on the arm of the couch with his tiny socks….listening to Earl ramble about money, or something…..Opal comes along and breaks the mood….

    I’ve concluded that at my age, the coin has pretty small value. I don’t really want  to “go to the fabric store with her” but I do enjoy her company enough to make the trip tolerable. Though I do require a book for when she’s pondering whatever-is-ponderable about which (fabric).

    Maybe Opal needs to hang various fabrics on Earl to decide what to buy.
