Auctions and husbands

Today, my DH went to an auction. He had several items he had put in the consignment auction and went to sort of oversee it.

Well, I had farmers' market, so couldn't be there to "watch" him. Gotta watch out for husbands at auctions! :)

He called me on the cell phone and said, "I bought something." I'm thinking, "OH no!" He did this to me before...at an auction we were both at, but I turned my back for a minute....and voila..

I know you're asking, "Well, what the heck did he buy?" Well, he bought a truck bed camper (not in the best of shape, someone else's junk). He said, "You told me on the way home from the KYRU that you would love to have a mobile home." Yes, but this was not my idea of that, I believe it was more like RV. He said, "I couldn't pass it up, I only paid $5.00 for it!" Well, who could argue with that. I looked at it after the market and, oh my....does he have his work cut out for him. I said, "It's a mess and I'm darn well not cleaning it...." :)

It brought back flashbacks from the other auction a few years ago. They had a bus for sale. It had been IN the hillside so long, trees were growing through it. When I turned my back, he bought it for $55. I made him sell to the other guy bidding against him and we lost $5.00.

Oh husbands and auctions. I do own a beat up camper right now, but thank the Heavens, not a bus! :)

Happy Day,
