WW – The Baker and The cake

Leave It To The Pros

Car maintenance is always on top of  Hubby’s list. He treats his cars with TLC. He would rather have an expert do the repairs. He’s always concerned with quality. He always remind his buddies to do the same. This is why his car looks and performs like the day it rolled out of the dealer.

Bearing this in mind, his cousin in Dallas brought her Chevrolet Silverado to the shop the Dallas auto repair list suggested. Her pickup truck needed a brake job. Its brakes are worn out and needs replacements. If you want you car to perform its best, take my husband’s advice, leave it to the pros.

Theme

White walls and wooden floors, that’s Hubby’s study and office. He’s the kind of person who wants a room to stick to a theme. You would rarely see an iteme of furniture that seems out of place. He had wood blinds installed to keep in line with his room’s theme. Even the wood stain was a perfect match with the floor. Simple as it looks, it has an aura of peace and a relaxed mood. Perhaps this is his way of tempering the stress whenever he works there.

Opposites

Hubby has a penchant for sports watches. He wears them even to formal occasions. From driver to divers, these are the kinds that he wears. He’s the rugged type. His brother on the other hand goes for the more expensive ones. He bought a Jaeger Lecoultre during a recent trip. He proudly showed it to Hubby. I must admit, it’s very impressive. I wonder how they get along, they have very different personalities.
