Horse Husband Catching On!

While I'm slightly sadly waiting for UPS to pick up that Setzi demo (I fell in love) for return I'm thinking about how my hubby has started to pick up on some things around here.
Last night he was looking at a horse "magazine" I had left out. "Oh!" says he, "you got a magazine subscription? Good magazine. How much was that?"
"Oh, that? It's free with membership! It IS good isn't it?" I say, turning back to what I was doing, thinking the conversation was over.
"Your ACTRA membership?" he asks.
 Hmmmm. Darn. "Uh, no - AERC." I reply, starting to leave the room - a trick I learned from my son. "What's AERC?" he asks.
"You know, American Endurance Ride Conference." I say.
He looks at me smiling and asks, "You're a member of the American group now?"
To which I reply, "Well, so is Marie and YOU are too - remember we're hoping to go to Maine in the Fall?"
I can see he is about to say more so I get him first: "Hey, do you have the passports done yet?" His face changes and he puts the magazine down: "Oh yeah, I better get on that."
Hubby leaves room, wife breathes sigh of relief. We are both smiling.
I have a "horse husband" that is worth his weight in gold, horses, hay & tack!
