‘What do you think?’ asked the realtor.
‘I like it, but I can’t make a decision without my husband. He’s on a business trip.’
‘When will he be back?’
‘Next week, but only for two days. He’s often away. What’s that?’
‘The plough comes with the cabin,’ said the realtor. ‘You’ll need it in the winter, otherwise you could find yourself snowed in for days.’
Days of my husband staying home, toasting marshmallows on the open fire, making love on the sheepskin rug. Time to fall in love all over again.
‘We’ll take the cabin but we won’t be needing the plough.’

Well, that’s one way to get some lovin’! 🙂 Nice job.
Desperate times and all! Thanks for reading.
Sweet story. I like her calculating mind!
Me too! Thanks.
I sure hope it works out for her. 🙂
He will probably drive her crazy! Thanks for commenting.
Hooray. A wonderful outcome. She’s a smart cookie.
Thanks Patrick. She is.
Then she just have to find a way to make the internet to die as well…
I kind of hoped the snow might do that? Thanks for reading.
Hehe, sounds like they’re going to make the most of what they’ve got!
Hope it turns out as romantic as she thinks!
Great! I loved it.
Thank you Susan.
Good decision! Sometimes one must go out on a limb.
Go after what you want I say!
a courageous move. Let’s hope her husband doesn’t decide to buy a generator…just in case. Sitting in front of a roaring fire, reading a book, toasting marshmallows…bliss!
Ah I hadn’t thought of that Lyn!
Snow work today! Love the title and the tale. She’s got her priorities right. Well told.
Aloha,
Doug
Thanks Doug.
Very good! That’s a cunning way to ensure hubby sticks around for a little while between trips.
Let’s hope it doesn’t backfire!
I like a girl with an eye for the main priorities. Nice one.
Me too. Thanks Susan.
Sandra 😉
Sorry – it has been a long day!
Just keep him pregnant in the summer and barefoot in the winter. That’s all he needs. 😀
Nice job, Louise!
Tee hee. It certainly is!
I love that she loves her husband this much.
Lets home she still feels that way after being shut in with him for weeks!
Well if not I have a feeling the plow will still be available, although the price might have gone up.
Loved this!
Although it also has shades of The Shining too — could be GREAT fun to be snowed in …. or it could be a disaster!
But … I digress. A wonderful write. 🙂
Here’s Johnny! Thanks.
Hope he’s in the same frame of mind that she is. A charming story nonetheless.
Thanks Perry. He needs some down time.
Dear Louise,
Now there’s a girl with a good eye for real estate. Hope her husband feels the same way. Nice one…very sweet.
Shalom,
Rochelle
Thanks Rochelle – I couldn’t cope with anything too emotional after a week of editing!
Love the way she thinks! I’d do the same. 😉
Great minds …..
I like her style – I hope it works out as she’s planned. Good story.
Thank you Margaret.
Lovely story, that is one smart lady.
Smart/devious – there’s a fine line! Thanks 🙂
