Distracting as these selling points may be, discriminating shoppers will remember to check under the hood. To look-- not just for a guy who drives a shiny car--but one who will make any car shine (...and change the oil and check the tires and remember to make the insurance payment).
A guy who may be willing to forgo the leather coat and make do with a nylon parka for a few years. Because he knows money in the bank feels better than any bomber jacket.
The smile, of course, must absolutely take your breath away. But it should be a gentle smile. One that appears quickly and often. A smile that is often accompanied by deep and contagious laughter.
Well, you know, I completely scored at the Hubby Mart. Got the car-fixin', money-savin', heart-stoppin' variety.
And how did he get that way?
Easy. He learned it all from his dad.

I have the sweetest, most gentle and generous father-in-law. He taught his son to take care of cars and bills and a wife and kids. He passed on a very cute smile and an infectious laugh. And although he is a man of few words, his life speaks volumes.
Get well soon, Papa! We love you!

He's a great guy. You need a photo of him, Brad and Sam. They are look-a-likes.
As always, this was so cleverly, and beautifully written!
I love the, "Hubby Mart" title you coined. So cute and funny!
And such a nice tribute to your father-in-law. I am sending well-wishes for him to get better soon, too!
So sweet. Love a good man!
That was a beautiful tribute to your hubby , his dad, and YOU! You got what you deserve!
He DOES look like Sam. What a great tribute. You did get an excellent husband, and clearly, he came from an excellent man.
SO darling! I love all your tributes!
That is so sweet and I love your writing style describing the man with his car.
Sorry to hear he's sick. How could reading that not make him better though?
