GO WEST YOUNG WOMAN©
It had
taken a couple of weeks of negotiation but Joe finally got the deal he wanted
and drove out of the dealership in his brand new Explorer.
His
wife Mary had been a little skeptical with his reasoning that the purchase was
because their kids who were now 14 and 16 would be taking long trips with them
in the car and they needed more room. He
knew she was on to him . . . his real motivation for buying a utility vehicle
was because he loved to go four-wheeling on Saturdays with his friends and felt
a little conspicuous when he was always doing the "riding" and never
the driving.
Joe
arrived home and ran into the house as excited as a nine-year-old boy with his
first bicycle. Mary was working at her
computer as Joe came up behind her, gave her a big kiss on the cheek and said,
"C'mon, c'mon, let's go! Let's go
for a ride."
They
jumped into the Explorer and headed out of town. After a few minutes, Joe pulled over to the
side of the road and invited Mary to drive.
She got behind the wheel and found that she really enjoyed the sensation
of sitting up so high with a great view of everything ahead of her.
Joe
instructed, "Hang a left here" and as Mary followed his directions
she found herself heading into the late afternoon sun. To shield her eyes, she quickly reached up
and pulled down the visor. She felt
something "plop" right into her lap and then roll onto the floor of
the truck. "What was that?"
she exclaimed.
"I
don't know. Better pull over and let's
check it out".
Once
they were pulled over on a side road, Mary found a little blue velvet box on
the floor and looked over at Joe quizzically.
"What's this?"
Sporting
a foolish grin, Joe just shrugged his shoulders. Mary opened the box to find an alligator
pendant with ruby chips for its eyes.
"Oh my gosh! What's this all
about?" she exclaimed with great pleasure.
"Well,
honey, I just wanted to say thank you for your understanding about me buying
this vehicle. We could've lived without
it, but you knew how much it meant to me.
You're a wonderful wife and I don't tell you often enough how much I
appreciate you. Thank you."
Mary
leaned over to hug Joe and said, "You're the best Joe. I'm just happy you're happy!"
Drop by and let us help
you be her HERO!
