  Did I ever read a great idea for husbands and wives!  If any of you receive the Generous Housewives Daily Tips...then you have already read it.  I just thought it sounded like a whole lot of fun and wanted to share it here for all you wives out there.      Here is just a snibblet of the tip.

  
  ".....use a journal to ask each other questions
  (everything from simple questions to the more probing and difficult
  ones).  One of them will write down a question and then leave it on the
  other's night table.  The journal goes back and forth between the nightstands
  as they learn more and more about each other."
  
  
  What to do on a hot and humid day

  My
  husband and I had a loverly day on Saturday....well....it was HOT and
  HUMID and he worked like a dog, but we still had fun.    I tried to help him
  the best I could.  We had a few really good laughs.  It seems a certain friend of ours backed into our mailbox post a
  couple of weeks ago and we all heard a loud CRACK.  It is not the first time a
  friend of ours destroyed our mailbox...and it happens that that other friend was
  also at our place the night this latest thing
  happened.    Oh
  we all had a good laugh!  The post was getting old anyway.  It had been there
  about 20 years.  I'd say it had a good life.  So my David and I (mostly David) dug out the rest of the
  old one and we had to transplant a day lily in order for him to dig and dig and
  chip away at the really big slab of concrete.
  After a LONG time of doing that we were ready to cement the
  new post in.  I held the post.     He dumped the
  cement and shoveled the dirt back on top and then we replanted the lily and all
  that.  I remulched and now hopefully the lily will make it.  It wasn't looking
  so good last time I checked.   I guess this is one of those...you had to be
  there moments but after a few hours in the heat and manual labor you tend to get
  a bit giddy and we sure were.  I was holding
  the new mailbox on while he was screwing things together and said something
  about the new cedar post but instead of cedar I said cider.  Then David was responding about my
  slip up and giddiness and he was trying to say..."I think you were hitting the
  cider" but instead he said hitting the cedar.  It just cracked us both up because we
  both made the same mistake in our words only the
  opposite.
  Yes...I see...you really had to be there to think it as
  funny as it was. 
  Then...I asked him to get out the chain saw.  I did not
  have to ask twice.  Does anyone else have this problem with their chain saw
  bearing husband....they tend to want to chop down everything once they get
  started?  I had to make the rules very clear
  before we began.     I pointed to each branch I needed trimmed.  We went one step at a
  time.  It is that power tool syndrome isn't it???   All went well though!  *Whew*  I
  really wasn't sure I'd be able to stop him. 
  Isn't it so nice when you can do a project together with your
  husband....and have fun doing it!?!?  My guy is such a hard worker and it is so
  neat to watch him tackle the tough stuff.  We were completely exhausted and drained and dehydrated but it was such a feeling of satisfaction.
