What's That in the kitchen sink?

when I typed What's that in the sink, I flipped way back in time (45 years) and remembered bathing my 2 boys in the kitchen sink. (sink baths, cloth diapers, YIKES). Of course none of you remember that.

OK, how many of you have already thought

"Why-Would-She-Do-That?"

Not the cleaning it in the sink but the purchase of it in the first place.

Is it ugly? Yes

Is it a pain to keep clean" YES

So Why?

I found one painted in a flea market for 50.00, wanted it but refused to pay that much. 2 months later found it in a craft store unpainted for 15.00. Bought it, spent HOURS hand rubbing antique paint into each and every crevice.

Here is the answer. This is Hubby Bob and Myself the year we got married. Look carefully at the HAIR.

now do you know WHY?

My son Daniel was 17 when I met Bob, I pointed him out to Daniel accross a parking lot. his comment is still the family joke.

"Why him Mom, he looks like a Salty Old Sea Dog to me"

           

                           And he was and IS a Salty Old Sea Dog.
One of these days I will put him in the goodwill box. (the statue NOT the Hubby)

if you want to see what hubby looks like 25 years later.......
