I always laugh when I hear of wives "Honey Do" lists...there was never one for my husband as he always had something for me "to take care of". Besides I've always been the handyman for projects around the home. If he ever made me an actual list I would have bopped him on the head! His jobs were always in management so I figured that was his personality, and it never ended at his retirement.

He is dealing with stage 4 cancer now and is worried that there will be no one to tell me how to do the books. We've done this well for 57 years and still going strong and I love and respect him dearly.
