Just Like Handy Manny, But Without The Talking Tools

in family,household responsibilities

A couple of months ago, the breaks in my van sounded terrible. And, when I saw terrible, that’s a really mild way of saying it.

I started envisioning how very expensive it was going to be to have the van fixed, and it just made me sick. It finally sounded so bad that Eric forbid me one evening to drive it to the in-home therapy that I was going to. Instead, I took his car, and he decided to give the van a looking over.

He called me when I was done and said, “It’s not good.”

Dang it!

Then, he continued. “So, can you stop by AutoZone and pick up some break pads that I had them hold for you. It’s going to cost about $25.” Yep — that was it. Our problem was solved for $25 and my husband’s know-how. What a blessing!

Sure, sometimes we have to get outside help for problems, but there have been many times over the years when Eric has saved us money just because he had knowledge and was willing to put in the time needed.

So, today, I’m pretty darn thankful for a handy husband!

Sometimes, I think husbands get a pretty bad reputation. So, share with me — what’s something that your husband or boyfriend has done lately that deserves some kudos?
