I enjoy my husband's company and also enjoy my own when he goes on golf trips or just spends half a day at the golf course, which he does frequently. Not sure we'd enjoy each other so much if it was a 24/7 arrangement, and he would really be unhappy if he couldn't get out to the golf course. He's a sweetie and a big help around here, but nothing inspires him to start a conversation better than the sight of me trying to read a book, and if I'm quilting he is sure to want me to come out and help him decide were to plant flowers. He plants them and cares what I think, so how could I possibly complain?! Then there is the problem of mealtimes being somewhat sacrosanct if he's here, whereas on my own I only eat when and what I feel like eating. He even cooks breakfast and makes sandwiches for lunch quite often, so of course I wouldn't complain, and if he cooks or brings home carry-out, you know I'm going to show up on time!

Isn't it lucky that we have a nice hobby to keep us from sitting around making unreasonable demands on our mates' time?

We bought 41 acres about 19 miles outside of Sundance. It is covered in Ponderosa Pines. Love it. Have to drive through three ranches to get to it. Very secluded and just what we love. We laugh cause if you pull our place up on a GPS our road is called Community Cow Pasture Road. We get lots of laughs with that. DH has no hobbies but loves to work outside. This will be perfect for when we totally retire next year. He has already started building magical places around the property for the GK's. A swing, play house, benches, a pond, and the list will go one. It is up to the GK's to find them. It has been lots of fun. The GK's love to go looking for them. Can't wait to finally get to live there year round.

I LOVE my husband. He is very helpful in picking fabric, giving opinions on what is and isn't acceptable, and fixing dinner. BUT alone is good too. Sometimes I just like knowing that I am not ignoring him or anything else when I am closed up in my sewing room. We are retired and I sometimes think - gee I wish he would go somewhere for a few days. I LOVE my husband, but there is a plus to solitude too.

Lucky lady. It would be so nice to have a house cleaner, however, having the house to myself for 7 days would be fantastic. Enjoy the quilting, cookies and chocolate and when you go back to work - fire the house cleaner. LOL Enjoy your special time.

I understand your joy at having your home to yourself. My husband went to Italy for three months and I sewed and sewed to my hearts content and went to sleep when I wanted. No dishes to wash, ate from paper plates, no cooking, ordered out. We communicated on Skype every couple of days and we both had our own wonderful vacations.

your note rings bells here! My DH is quiet but also loves to talk when I have my nose in a book! By the by, your pic of the dog- how cute!

That is pretty country up around Sundance. You will love it. Folks are few and far between in that neck of the woods!

How wonderful is that! I do envy you, I always wanted to live in the country & have horses & a cow & pig for ..well you know. And to have room for GK to just run & have fun. Sounds like a lot of great memories are going to be made at G'ma & G'pa's house!
