bartering

I just want to say that I love my husband... I walked in the door last night with a lap dulcimer that I had traded with Evette for a table and chairs that we needed to get rid of, and he just smiled. I know his choleric self was thinking "we are supposed to be getting rid of all the crap in our house and you bring in a new instrument that is going to take up space somewhere and not get used" but he just smiled and shook his head and watched me find a place for it. I am a blessed woman! Now to look up dulcimer tuning on the internet...
