I'm a lucky woman. My hubby is home and healthy. I just love having him around. We are extremely compatible. You have to be to spend as much time together as we did when we worked on the same boat at sea. Our bond just seems to get stronger every year. Perhaps it is the realization that we are growing old? Or our common interest in kiteboarding? Or my recovery from alcoholism? Whatever it is, it works.
He flew home Monday night and his friend Alan called him the next day to go kiting. I had errands to run and was glad to see him get out and have some fun. Wednesday we went up to hang out with his daughters and the grandkids. Pat, our son in law, made a fabulous stew with Irish Soda bread for St. Patrick's day. Today we went back there and painted a primer coat on Addy's new bedroom. We leave for Mexico soon so we need to see family as much as we can. We can never get too much of our adorable grandkids.
Lin was very tired when he got home and in need of a good meal, which was more than happy to provide. Buffet line dining makes him appreciate my cooking a lot more! Now we have to get any business that needs to be attended to done before we leave. Doctor's appointments, bills paid, cat sitter lined up and travel arrangements made. Taking care of these things is a lot easier than it was when we BOTH fished for a living. At least I'm home to do most of it while he's fishing.
These are the adorable grandkids : )
Well, I'm feeling sad for my friends who still have husband's and lovers at sea. My hubby took off the last trip so I get to see him sooner than some. And poor Marci has been with her husband only four weeks out of the last six months! YIKES! Hang in there Marci!
