The blanket was bought in the early 80s, as a '10 year blanket'. I fell in love with it and spent a lot of money to buy it. I think it was an excellent investment :)
The chainsaw was bought as an electric, battery powered model. The batteries and charger were sold separately and we chose the upgraded, larger capacity batteries. It's a lighter weight with instant start, so is more convenient for me, I don't have to go to any effort to make it go.
We got it from Lidl and we're very pleased with it. It does exactly what we need it to do.
We have a goal in mind for our home this year. We hope to host an anniversary party, with our children and their families here too.
Thank you for your reply, Michelle! I'm such a nosy guy, right? AHAHAH
The blanket with that quality we cannot find out easily, since this days all of them are so different (not as warm, and not as heavy!). I'm miss the comfort of having on in my bed in a cold winter night... Hmmmm
I love that blanket. It came with us when we moved to our first house and again when we moved her, to our second house.
Not nosy, interested :)
I made a blanket when I was pregnant with my daughter. I still have that one too. It's made with dark but vibrant colours, and I love that too.
It is so intrinsic the "connection" that we have with those special objects, right. For more years, that pass, I'll never forget a blanket that my grandmother sewed (with two small blankets, that were when I was a baby, she made one for me to use when I was grown up) :) Memories...
Looking at this from another viewpoint, the fact that you treasure the memories is delightful!
