Brookstone sells the most wonderful hammock I’ve ever seen; hand-woven white cotton rope with oak spreaders at both ends. If you have two trees in your yard the proper distance apart, you can attach one end to each trunk and take an afternoon nap in the shade. If not, you can buy a steel hammock stand with wheels so you can move when the sun does. There’s even a hammock pad so you won’t wake up with rope marks on your arms and legs. Every Father’s Day, I seriously consider buying one of these hammocks for John. More than once I’ve come very close to actually doing it. What stops me is I know that he’ll know it isn’t really for him. For one thing, there’s no television in the back yard. And for another, if he ever tries to take a nap in this hammock, he’s going to have to get me out of it first.
You should buy it for yourself and say it's for him.
ReplyDeleteYou're absolutely right. When I do you're welcome to try it out. Providing, of course, that I'm not already using it.
