Better Homes and Garden's Special Valentine's Edition.

   Are they High on love or fumes from staining the entire house; walls, floors, ceilings, and furniture one color in a poorly ventilated space? I tend to think they were already high on love because the color begs the question why.  Perhaps we'll never know...

Chapter Four: Building a Better Teen Age Daughter.

Scott's wife had been nagging him to spend more time with their teen age daughter Annie.  But they had very little in common so he taught her how to smoke a pipe and choose the best lumber to build things.  Maybe this will be just what she needs to stop dating that greaser Danny.

Chapter Three a Dismemberment Story. (sorry I couldn't help myself)

This poor dad had no idea that he was about to loose his thumb through careless power tool use.  The doctors would have been able to reattach it if Fido had not gotten to it first.

The Better Homes & Gardens Saga Volume I

I love cheesy things.  Both of the dairy and emotional variety.  I can not help but pick up super cheesy cook books and the like if they have those illustrations from the fifties.  Following is the beginning of my Better Homes and Gardens Handyman's Book from 1951 put in my own prose.

Chapter One:

"Oh I'm so lucky to have a handyman for a husband!" Emily thought to herself dreamily, "even if I did have to marry a giant! Just look at his bulging tricep. Maybe he'll notice my ridiculous shoes and huge pockets."

"Is my miniature wife looking at me?" Jim asked while chewing on his pipe. "Good, I was hoping she'd notice my giant muscle." then, thinking to himself; "Flex Jimmie Flex! Oh yea I am awesome!"

Coming soon chapter two...
