Chloebud, I always laugh at the thought of putting furniture together. I think of putting IKEAfurniture together with my husband in my younger years. I call them our börja här moments. Also, I remember trying to hang one long strip of wallpaper down a post that ran from a second floor to a main floor next to a staircase with my husband. Hooboy! We still laugh about it. We passed the test as we’re celebrating 50 years of marriage later this month. (yes, I was a child bride) 😉 My husband always says ”börja här” in his best Swedish Chef voice when he starts reading instructions of any kind.

I get you, murraysmom. I think we all have these fetishes. I love practical shoes. Shoes that last for years, and are comfortable. My husband has a thing for maps. His desk is full of roadmaps. He’s never thrown one away. He’ll buy a map whenever he can.
