I can only wish my DH had a hobby that took him out for a while. He is a heart problem and kidney failure nad diabetes so he doesn't go far without me. I would love a day or night alone. My middle DD used to get him and go to the casino for the day and I enjoyed the quiet. I think everyone needs time out once in a while. So AUg 19-22, I am going to Mt.Calm Compass Centre for my quilt retreat, no phones, no meals to cook, no laundry. They fix us three meals a day and leave us coffee, drinks etc. for snacks. Not to mention what we ladies take. I can't wait. There's more than one way to skin a rabbit. ROFL.
