She Came Home!

Wonderful Wife was gone, joined by several other home schooling moms to pray and plan for the upcoming year. Left Friday, returned Sun eve. She had a fruitful time, and that is an answer to prayer.

I played single Dad, and gotta tell you, that is one tough job. The girls pitched in to assist with Little Man. That was good. I foolishly tried to fix some leaky faucets...and these are 45 years old, so that turned out to be rather more than I wanted to take on. Three hours later, I started calling plumbers to make an appointment. Leave plumbing to professionals...that's what I always say. Or will always say, from now on.

Also thought it would be easy to replace the old "RF Modulator," a little box that interfaces between my DVD player and 10 year-old TV. Not hard, really. Except the replacement box I bought at Best Buy was defective. So even THAT turned out to be an unfinished project (easily taken care of this fine day, thank you very much).

Needless to say, Saturday was NOT a productive day.

Today was better. Made some calls to family in Wisconsin. Went to church. Had a nice (frozen) meal for lunch, followed by ice cream. The girls finished last year's Pride and Prejudice." They love it. They loved me for letting them watch it.

A few errands, a quick stop at the park - interupted by rain and lightning. And then, as we came in the front door, I realized Wonderful Wife is home. She came back! Hooray!

The night went quickly, and bedtime is here.

I'm smiling. She came home. I am grateful for my beautiful wife, and glad she returned.
