A Very Quiet Labor Day

 

My “Worker Bee” of a husband went to the office. Typically, the Holiday Weekends are a good opportunity for him to play “catch up” since his phone is so quiet.  I’ve become so used to it, I’m no longer the nagging wife. When he does get caught up, he’s a Happy Man! When he’s happy, I’m happy. Funny what 14 years of marriage will teach you!

I spent the day walking the dogs, walking myself, doing a few chores, making phone calls and getting caught up myself!

I found this on my walk!

That was probably the most exciting thing to happen all day, until dinner. I made myself one of my favorites, but one of Mike’s least favorites, so I put together a little something special for him.

There was a little more excitement immediately after we had both drifted off to sleep. The smoke alarms went off! Mike jumped up like I’ve never seen before, and I believe he mumbled something like…..”Where’s the Fire!”, but at the time I wasn’t really sure if we had one or not! He changed all the batteries and we went back to sleep! Why does that never happen in the middle of afternoon???
