I have a woodworking shop that has an entrance off of our garage and has a garage door entrance that leads to the circular driveway. I like to spend some of my free time building wooden furniture, cabinets, toys and other things. Sometimes, because of the time I spend out there, my beautiful wife accuses me of keeping a mistress in my shop.
I had started a project to create an intricate cabinet with a large amount of routing work and delicate shaping. I had started with some very good work and had worked it into the sizes, shapes and quality I was looking to use for the project. I had spend several hours over several days mitering the wood into some very specific sizes. I had dry assembled the main part of the cabinet several times, each time finding some small imperfection that needed to be sanded or reshaped.
I had been working steadily most of Saturday morning so I took a break and walked over to the small refrigerator in my shop looking for some Gatorade. I realized I was out so I walked through the garage into the kitchen and opened the fridge. My wife walked in dressed in her Saturday best, a pair of jean shorts and tee-shirt with sandals.
"How much longer are you going to be out there?" she asked accusingly.
"I don't know. I'm close to being ready to start putting it together and want to try and get as much done today as possible," I said rather absently. "Besides, you were going to go yard sale-ing with your girlfriends."
I grabbed a drink and a handful of chips and walked back to my shop. I took a long drink as I watched Diane walk out and get into her car. I got back to work on the small cabinets that would eventually hold the treasures of my friends young daughter.
I had begun to assemble the cabinet and had lost all track of time. I had to sand a small piece of wood where I had cut the slot for the hinges and had turned my back to the door facing the garage. I was intent on carefully sanding the small piece that would become the left side of the cabinet when I suddenly got the feeling I was missing something. I took a quick glance over my shoulder and saw Diane pulling back into the garage.
"What'd you get?" I asked, not really caring about her yard sale treasures that would soon be donated to some Charity.
"Look," She exclaimed excitedly. "I found this beautiful hat and dress."
She stood in the doorway between the garage and the shop holding up a dress that looked like it was from the Forty's and a large brimmed hat that had feathers and the old-fashioned black net.
"Ooooooo, isn't that beautiful!" I said sarcastically. "When would you EVER wear a dress like THAT?"
She hesitated a little, her bottom lip trembling ever so slightly.
"I don't know." She paused. "I just liked it and thought I might wear it out on day," she sighed rather sadly.
"Aw, It's really pretty. I didn't mean to make fun of your dress. Why don't you go try it on and see how it looks." I was desperate and looking for a save.
I really don't want to get my wife upset and pouting. She's gorgeous with a drop-dead body that makes my buddies jealous. More than one has hit on her when they thought she was vulnerable or a little under the influence.
Diane twirled around with a smile on her face and headed off to try on her 'treasure'. I got back to work assembling the cabinet, running a small bead of wood glue down the edges and grabbed my nail gun carefully joining two pieces together, then nailing them together. I grabbed the piece of wood for the other side and began applying the glue.
I looked up to again grab my nail gun and noticed my wife standing back in the doorway. She had the 40's era dress on as well as the hat with the net pulled down over her face. Her auburn hair flowed over the wide collar of the dress and her face was sort of obscured by the net and the dress hid her beautiful body, but accentuated her delicious shape. The dress hugged her sexy curves and just the calves of her legs were visible below the dress.
"What do you think?" she asked as she walked out of the doorway into the shop towards the garage door opening.
There was something sensual about the dress and the way she walked definitely screamed sexy. She continued to walk around the shop, making a full circuit before stopping back at the open garage door.
"Well?" she asked again.
I realized that I had spun around as I followed her movement and now the hose from my nail gun was wrapped around me. As I worked to free myself from the confines, I looked down and spoke at the same time.
"It's nice, really nice." I was absorbed in freeing myself, trying to get another look at my luscious wife and talk at the same time. When I was finally free I looked up to see Diane standing in the light shining in the garage door.
"Well, I don't like it,' she pouted, "I think I'll just take it off."
