Hope-sessa Tra La La!

You know, I have the dearest husband in the world, but he's been cranky lately - short handed at work, mean and mouthy customers that he's had to deal with every day...can't say as I blame him for getting 'the cranks'.  I've been waiting for the mail delivery each day, hoping the surprise I got for him would show up - and today it finally did!  SWEET!  So, I gift wrapped it with a charming note and put it on the bed where he'd be certain to find it when he got home and changed this evening.....
Mr. Wonderful and his Surprise!
It was an instant HIT!  Doesn't he look pleased???  He could hardly wait to climb into his new Tee, and it brightened up his mood immediately!    I love to see that smile - it's a winner!
Love Chickens?
When I was a kid, we called gifts like this "Hope-sessa Tra La La!"  I think it means "present" in Polish, but I'm not certain.  The expression has a funny happy sound, and that's why I remember it so easily!

Make it a great day - for EVERYONE!

Great post! Love the T-shirt. Had a friend that drove a big rig one time; his T-shirt would have had grilled owl on it. Yikes!

I hope your girls don't see him wearing that shirt. There will be a general egg laying strike in the old coop...
