Him: “Honey I’d have to rewire the thing to get it working again . Not to mention out of ALL the yard sales we’ve been to today this is the only lamp with most of a broken bulb remaining in the socket. ”
Her: “But it reminds me of that beach house we rented in Savannah that summer. We never did get out of the house much as I recall.”
Both share a knowing smile.
Him: “Are you sure this is the one?”
Her: “Yes but after 33 years I’m still considering my options with you…so don’t push your luck.”

Dear B.A.
I don’t think she was talking about lamps. 😉 Well scripted and believable dialogue. I enjoyed it.

Exactly that was “the light bulb moment” 🙂
Awwwww! Good for them!

Thank you for reading and commenting DCTdesigns!
Very good story. I’m glad they finally found the right lamp after all those years.
Thanks for reading and commenting patriciaruthsusan!
With a reminder of such a memory they must have that lamp – even if he is going to spend hours trying to get the broken bulb out!

I love Savannah! And this story was great. I love the cheekiness between the two. Flowed very nicely. (Oh and you can use a raw potato cut in half to get out one of those broken bulbs.) I am a vat of useless info. 😉
Thanks! Have you ever actually tried that potato trick? I always wind up using needle nose pliers later to remove mashed potatoes and the bulb guts 🙂
Hahaha no. But it always seemed so logical. That being said you know what they say about the best laid plans.
Fair enough 🙂 thanks again for reading and commenting!
Good story – and needle nosed pliers is the only way to go – you are right! Otherwise you do have a mess and if it’s plugged in – a deadly mess. Nice read! Nan
No truer words! Thanks for reading and commenting!
Ha hubby better watch himself! Great story
I think you’re right 🙂 Thanks for reading and commenting.
Awe, how sweet. Nicely done.
Thank you Good News for reading and commenting!
My pleasure.
Great light bulb moment. Helpful hint: If a light blub breaks off in a socket you can use a potato to remove it. I think I read that in the 70′s and have been waiting all this time to use it.
Yeah that trick never worked for me lol
That was sweet enjoyed reading it.
