Saturday morning I made the 3 hour drive to spend the weekend with my sister. She is divorced and both kids are now in college (she has a senior and a freshman) so she's adjusting to a new life. Saturday we went for a long drive and ended up meeting her 2 girls (both in school in the Boston area) and took them out for supper. Today we are also going for a long drive, headed out to Kimball Farm or the Wayside Inn, just to have a destination. We'll stop at some point for lunch/dinner, find some place to walk around in the sunshine, etc. I'm staying over tonight and will drive home on Monday as I don't have to be to work until 11:30-ish.
Just got a message from DH. He has folded laundry and cleaned the bathrooms. Next on his agenda is to vacuum and clean the boot trays. Then he'll go to work for a bit to check his data and move some stuff in his lab. Once he comes home he's going to mow the lawn. Jeez... he's clearly lonely! I should go away on the weekend more often!
