Abstract

“Step away from the gnome!” I threatened. We were in the attic. My eyes hurled daggers as my husband picked up the two-foot-tall garden gnome and headed for the “toss” pile. The gnome was a little raggedy and begged for a new paint job. Dumpy, as I called him (the gnome, not my husband), was one of those oddball finds that seem so great at the time then mutate into one of those, “What was I thinking?” episodes of my life. Again, I’m talking about the gnome, not my husband.
