Not nearly the same situation, but my daughter has basically the same problem. Her husband works in the SF Bay Area Mon through Fri and is only home on week-ends. She has gotten so used to doing things her way, having a clean house and not cooking, that's it's quite hard to have him home on week-ends, messing things up and expecting meals.

Time before when Jeff was home, he picked me up some fence boards. I needed to add height to a couple of enclosures. I painted them while he was gone. So on this last visit, he was to put them up for me. He waited til I had left for work to do it. I was so pleased to hear he had done it.Of course when I checked it out, yes the boards were added, but he also had pulled stones from the bottom of one board (which he had told me were fine where they were) and left them spread out in the enclosure. So now I need to get them back in, so nothing can crawl out the space under the board. He also needed to widen a support pole. He dragged out some wood he did not use and of course left them dumped in the walkway. Little things, but a bit annoying.

Sometimes it's the little things that are just perfect. I received this card in the mail a few days ago and it is perfect for what I want to do with it, so I went to the attic and found a frame that I think goes good with it.View attachment 209851

It looks great, what a good idea.....

Headed to Spokane tomorrow, my parents reminded me to bring my zoom lens because their hummingbirds are back.

I can see how that would be hard.
He is gone a lot, and reconnecting over and over would be exhausting.
Too bad he couldn't retire or get another job with less travel. Hugs to you.

Actually he had just started checking out local jobs, when they found the cancer. Now he can't change jobs due to his need for his insurance.

Morning all!

Remember @CtTortoiseMom and her husband Rob? I wonder what ever happened to them They haven't been on here since '13. I really used to enjoy talking to them. I'm going to send her an email.

I miss them, too. Also think of KerryAnn and her jeep stuff. Wonder if she ever got pregnant.

And Redfoot Man.
Remember he drilled oil of shore and bred Redfoots in like N. Carolina? I bought my 1st baby from him. He also had Knobbs who flipped and passed away.

Looks like you are going to have triple digits next week. @Yvonne G

About to hit the road for a quick 8 hour drive up to Spokane in a rental car that doesn't have blind 'spots' because it IS a blind spot. Really makes me miss my truck.

 

[Jacqui]

Work is over for the day! Now on to supper with atleast my two oldest brats.

The wind blew off a couple panels from my greenhouse a while ago (same brand as yours). Will came up and added screws through each panel into the metal frame.

Hi all..... nothing new here. Rain, and some odd kinda bird who leaves the nastiest poop ever. I have a water and snow proof car cover that I usually put on.....but it's easier to get the stuff off the car than it is the cover. And things are the same in Corvallis.....rain, grey and grumpy people suffering from SAD. I sit under the basking light with Sam in the shed every afternoon, so I stay pretty cheerful.......lol. I actually never even come close to cheerful...... But we're gonna change my reputation.....lol again

The Russians are loving the cactus I threw in.

Boys are so much more fun than squealing little girls. I had 2 boys and a girl.

 

[Momof4]

@Jacqui who wanted a girl? The parents or you?

You will love him no matter what!
Can't buy cute outfits but boy clothes have come along way.
