Hubby-moose is having a great time with his family and friends. I heard from him yesterday afternoon as he and his buddy were driving back from a visit with HM’s aunt. He had lots to tell me – about the visi; about someone who sought him out while looking for his older brother’s gravesite; about his buddy’s grandson; about his new teeth and glasses.

Yup – that is the main reason for the trip – new chompers. Up here they would have cost over $3000. He went to a clinic “Outside” and got them for just over $1000. That is well worth the time off work and the cost of the flight. Besides, he needed to get away and just to BE for a bit.

I’ve done my best not to bug him – not to call or text. Hubbies need time away from their partners, too.
🙂

Last night I was in bed at 9:30 p.m. and slept like a rock. Only woke up once – rolled over and went right back to sleep. Love it.

Breakfasts with the grandgirls have gone well – although I have had to call the oldest each morning to remind her she really DOES need to get out of bed. lol

I keep carrying my camera – thinking I will take the time to take some pictures. I have a few that haven’t been downloaded yet, but in the meantime if you want to see some GLORIOUS Alaskan pics, check out Susan’s blog. She lives in Fairbanks. She has some new aurora pics up. Alaska has been blessed with some gorgeous spring auroral activity this year.

Enjoy your weekend. Myself? Thinking about sleeping in tomorrow. We’ll see how that works out.

The house is quiet – only the hum of the computer right now . . . well, and the ringing in my ears, but that is with me all the time.

Hubbymoose has been gone on his trip for two days. I put him on the plane Monday night and he arrived to his destination Tuesday night. Poor guy – 18 hours or so with layovers.

I have heard from him only twice – he texted (I know!!!) from his layover spot and then called when he was picked up by his buddy. I don’t expect him to contact me because I know he is busy visiting with his friends and, hopefully, some of his family.

The grandgirls have come down for their breakfast each morning, although the oldest one is not too willing. lol She sooo does not want to get up in the morning. She also doesn’t want to take her dottering old gramma’s advice to “go to bed earlier.” Had to laugh when the Pup asked if I meant they had to stay home to fix their own cereal – or was it okay to come down to fix their own cereal. They had cereal yesterday, but this morning I cooked (I know!!!) for them. We’ll see what happens tomorrow.
🙂

But, now it is getting late and I need to follow my own advice – go to bed already, gramma! 5:45 a.m. comes mighty early and I have a full day tomorrow. Sleeping in Saturday morning is beginning to sound pretty good.

Now the fridge is running, competing with the sound of the laptop. These are pretty normal sounds ’round here. I am sorta missing hubby moose’s snores from the chair next to mine. We sometimes take “sneak naps” – you know, the kind that sneak up on you – together. This afternoon I took one by myself.

In my chair.

Now?

Off to hog the middle of the bed.

By myself.

‘night, all.
