Sorry Susie - I am not the least bit interested in the Masters. My DH's cousin has lifetime tickets and my BIL has a huge house just outside of Augusta so they go every year and it's a guys week. I am not a golfer and equate the Masters with watching paint dry. :-)

I will confess that my DH and sons (at 17 and 24) are a bit jaded about attending. They don't get what an amazing privilege it is.

what a great vacation, hope you manage to get lots done.

I always tell my kids that I will be doing nude vacuuming while they are gone, that keeps them away longer!! You are welcome to use that line on them!

Oh the joy of alone time. I even hate it when my DH doesn't have to go to work until later in the day! To have a few days alone - ENJOY!

I am laughing right out loud in my empty house! That is a great line. It would certainly keep the kids away longer but probably not DH....

every time i get alone time, i end up wasting it being in awe and trying to figure out what to do with so much peace and quiet that it ends up over b4 i do much of anything lol

OMG, don't know whether I'd rather be with you or with them! Ah, heck. I can see more of the Masters on TV from my sewing machine!

Enjoy your free time. My DH is leaving on Sun night for a week of golf in Myrtle Beach. Can't wait. He always worries that I will be home alone. I can't push him out the door fast enough. Hope I have enough time to do all I have planned. By the next Sun when he comes I will be ready for him to be back though.

you guys crack me up. my best friend goes to hawaii with a singer feather weight as her carryon and sews in her hotel room....my husband is leaving next month to start building our retirement house. i CAN'T wait for him to leave so i can SSSEEEWWWWW. :-)

Okay, so quit doing your Happy-Pants-Dance and start sewing!!!! LOL LOL Congratulations and I hope you enjoy your time.
