"I refer to Home Depot as "Mens' Nordstrom" and wish my other half a fun excursion whenever he ventures there, sans me." Now, ain't that just like a woman! Harrumph!! "Men's Nordstrom" indeed!! I'll have you know, Home Depot is a place where very important and serious things are on display and sold. And POWER tools, too! Grrr!

I (female) love Home Depot and other hardware stores. But that's because I love to work on the house. I've got a long, long list. This past weekend, it was just rearranging furniture, which required the purchase of sliders, and bracing a tree, which required straps, rope, and spikes. Next weekend, it will be laying a blue stone paver path to the door, which required the purchase of a book, and will require the purchase of sand and rock and landscape cloth, and the rental of tools. I already bought the pavers. Then I will need solar lights to put along the path. And some railroad ties to build a raised bed for a new Montmorency cherry tree, and spikes to hold it together. And then I need a new kitchen ceiling light. And then get to work on a new grape arbor. There's always something I need at Home Depot.
