Lesli's Hope Chest
So, the other day I made a comment to Lesli about her 'Hope Chest'. She responded that it wasn't a 'Hope Chest' but a 'Cedar Chest'. I responded that they are also called, 'Hope Chests' because you put all of your hopes and dreams in them. She said that only 'girlie girls' called them hope chests. She said that they say, "Oh I love this wedding cake. I'm going to put this picture of a wedding cake in my 'Hope Chest' and then someday when I get married I'll have this wedding cake." She responded that she has her grandma's old quilts in her 'Cedar Chest'. Then I remembered Lesli's deep freeze, freezer in the garage...full of dead animals that she 'hopes' to mount someday. I assured her that if that's what a 'Hope Chest' is...is something you put all of your hopes and dreams in then her deep freeze IS her HOPE CHEST. She's always saying how someday she's going to mount this or that and then have a whole room in her house that is just full of mounted animals...kind of like a forest scene. She talks about HOW she's going to mount them and what sort of scenery she is going to put them in...and how cool will that be! "That's the 'DREAM' Debbie." She says that all the time. "That's the DREAM." It made her so mad. Now I call her freezer full of dead animals...her HOPE CHEST! HA! I seriously think I'm so funny! (maybe you have to know Lesli to appreciate the humor in this..but I think I'm a riot!) Pretty clever, huh?

So where's the picture of YOUR hope chest?? I want to know what's IN it! :)
I don't have a Hope Chest...or a Cedar Chest for that matter. Sad, huh?
Oh, but Debbie has dreams! An life is made up of dreams. Looking in that freezer reminds me of "him" and the torment he must of gone through. Just kidding Deb!
I wish I had a hope chest to put all my quilts and blankets in. Heck, I'm married to a wood carpenter and he has never made me one. I think after 11 years I deserve one!
I didn't need to see that picture! :) Well I will have to start asking Lesli about her hope chest now. I can't wait to see her next!
I think you're a riot, too, Debra! That is a super funny story! Oh Lesli and her dead animals.
