Meeting my wife was like winning the lottery!
I was a pretty grumpy person for many years before I met her.
Rob gave me some good advice before I brought her back to my place, put all the mannequins and army stuff in the basement. Don’t let her see full size mannequins in the living room. I argued the point with him for awhile that there was nothing wrong with it but then he got backing from his wife to tell me to put the stuff in the basement so I did.
She was curious what was in the basement for over a month but I told her Rob and his wife said to wait awhile before she experiences the basement. I guess it paid off cause she stuck around!
It also helped that her grandfather was with the Regina Rifle Regiment during the war so understood my collection.
As for the house, it was run down and needed a renovation so had to sell off some of the collection to pay for it. Now that the renovations are over I seem to have gotten the collecting bug all over again!
And so it begins, round 2!
