Take a memento or three back with you.
I agree that the memento/memory jog should be for happy things rather than sad things.
get a reaction, hang a bra and knickers off the deer horns, and see what happens, keep doing it until they are taken down and relocated [in the shed?]
HAAAAAAAAAAa about the bra......... he would like that too much :D
someday when I'm 90........ maybe I will have a house where they can go in the basement but right now it's the safest place for them both........... I guess you kind of get used to things after 22 years..... or learn to pick your battles LOLL
only fight those battles you have a chance of winning.
you are sounding like a bloke, that is how we survive marriage [ooooops, shouldn't have given the game away]
