Knowing that I had a better chance of winning the lottery than finding the below coin in the wild, unknown to me, my wife “pulled the trigger” and purchased a JFK I have been lacking in my collection as my Christmas present. Her choice shows she has impeccable taste, after all she married me, Lol !
She sounds like a keeper! The only coins I got were from my CT Secret Santa (aside from a bag of chocolate ones from my daughter). I didn't get the new housecoat I asked for (my old one is ratty and holed). But instead, Ladymarcovan got me a new iPhone 15. So I suppose I can't complain. More importantly, I got a Christmas text message from my estranged son in Chicago.
Wives can be great, can't they? I didn't get any coins for Christmas, but one of my daughters gave me a gift card to my local LCS. Love that. Probably pick up another Barber Quarter to help complete my series. It's great when the family contributes to the addiction.
Funny you should mention housecoat. My wife got me a new robe for Christmas. I didn't even know I needed to replace the one I had. Good thing I have a wife. She knows what I need.
I'm not typically a robe wearer, unless I'm walking outside in the chill of winter, in the northeast, to our hot tub. That said, my wife bought me an LL Bean hooded mens robe. Seriously comfortable and perfect for the trek in the snow to the 103°-104° tub. This is the one.... That's not me
Yes, wives can often be counted on to get you the stuff you need that you didn’t know you needed. Which goes back to the new iPhone mine just got me. I have no idea how to sign up for service or do any of that stuff. If I wasn’t married to her, I’d still have an antiquated flip phone. No, wait- I’d still have a landline. Similarly, she just called me when I was on my downtown post office run, and reminded me I needed to renew my car tag before December runs out. Perfect timing- the car tag office is quite near the post office. I was in and out of there in less than ten minutes. There was no line at all. That would have never entered my mind without her nudging me. No wonder statistics say married men live longer.
Ha! I spoke too soon, and didn’t give my spouse enough credit. Guess what she gave me this morning, for my birthday? OK, nuffaboutdat. Sorry for the off-topic tangent. Resume conversation about Christmas coin goodies, and good spouses.
