But the reason for my mirth, is that I was reminded of the time of how I tricked hubby into getting rid of an unsightly eye sore of a rotting tree trunk. Hubby cut down a rotten tree in the front of our house. The stump remained--for too long. It was very unsightly and a source of irritation, everytime my eyes saw it.
One day I announced at the dinner table, "Don't you think that tree stump in the front yard, is the perfect spot for a statue of Our Lady of Guadalupe?" I still smugly smile at the look on the family's face.
The next weekend the stump was burnt down to the ground. And new grass planted.
