Caught in the driveway.

[Krystenw]

I haven't had the urge to wear a dress for quite some time. I had the day off and my wife thought that since it was supposed to be warmer today that I should wear the new wool dress she bought me.
I had planned to work in the yard today but she told me that I could still do that but thought that I needed to do it in a dress. I have been under a lot of stress so I thought what the heck.
I hadn't been outside ten minutes when a car pulled into the driveway. The pulled up next to me and stopped and got out before I had a chance to do anything. Although at my age I couldn't have done anything more then have a heart attach anyway.
It turns out it was the lady doctor that I used to work with. She had moved out of town and was just back for a few hours. She had stopped at the hospital to see me and they told her I had the day off so she just came by the house to see if I was home. I make hand crafted horse tack and she wanted to see a halter that I had made.
She was quite nice to me. She didn't even laugh at me. She told me I looked better in a dress then she did. She said she thought about calling first but didn't think it would matter.
I told her it wouldn't matter in the future.
We had a nice visit and she left.
She shook me up so bad I had to lay down and take a nap.

momma always said "wear clean underwear", although i dont think it would
have mattered. you probably needed clean ones after that. thank god for understanding people!

[kerrianna]

:heehee: You look very nice in the picture. :love:

It's nice your friend accepted you so readily - I think good people see through the dressing and just see the person they already know and like. It's a validation for you so I hope you see this experience in a positive light. She sounds like a kind thoughtful (well, maybe she should have phoned first :heehee: ) person. Your wife sounds like a winner too. Lucky you. :thumbsup:

Thanks for posting. Hope your heart rate has returned to normal. :p :hugs:

Oh, I can't help myself, I laughing out loud. My vision of you, on the snow covered ground, caught like a deer in the headlights! Eeeek!

So sorry. I'm giggling and almost crying, at the same time, I'm such a mixed up gurl, giggle.

I really am glad to hear that your visitor was not offended by your appearence. It's so nice to meet accepting people, bless you.
Hugs,
Brianna

I guess your gig is up. It sounds like you had a good visit with your friend, That is all that really matters.

[linnea]

I think that you were very fortunate and that you had a really good time. I would like to get "caught" that way.
Good for you. And thanks for sharing.

[SherriePall]

I would have needed a doctor if that happened to me.
You look lovely, but cold in the pic.

[susie evans]

you didn't get caught you were just in your comfort mode and all is well that ends well and your still friends :hugs: :hugs:

[Di]

Well glad to turned out ...she sounds like a true friend....and btw nice pic.

[Tina Dixon]

Haha, thats a good one, but hey if your wife knows and it looks like your neighbors know to then what the heck.

[Butterfly Bill]

Perhaps this experience can show you that coming out is possible.

[Lori SC]

I'm glad everything worked out for you. If this doctor is out of town, there's less chance she'll tell anybody else in town.

But I have a question for you.... Why are you doing yard work in a dress, and it was a NEW dress? The only lady I "knew" that did yard work (and housework) in a dress and heels was Donna Reed.

Now I wanna know what you wear to go out!:confused2:

Said all in jest my friend...

Hugs, Lori

Love the dress,, hope that you had on warm undies, no need to get a draft(not the military kind) :devil: you must have one tough SO to make you work on your day off,I guess thats why you needed to take a nap, did you slip in to something soft,cuddly and cozy first??, no need to wrinkle the dress, :love: :D Charolette

She said she thought about calling first but didn't think it would matter. I told her it wouldn't matter in the future.

Just when you thought it was safe to go outside...

You more than handled it well and with humor:
"Although at my age I couldn't have done anything more then have a heart attach anyway."
"I told her it wouldn't matter in the future."
and
"She shook me up so bad I had to lay down and take a nap."

I love it.

It sure is funny, when it happens to someone else. But I can guess how you felt. Oh @#$@#!!! I too am glad things went well for you. Isn't wonderful when things like this have a happy ending...BJ
