time passes

The winter months have been cold and long. It's seems like everyone you talk to is ready for this winter to be over. At lease you can see spring flowers for sale in the local grocery store. Also the ground hog in Pennsylvania didn't see his shadow this year. So maybe spring is almost upon us. This summer I am planning to spent a lot more time outside and enjoy the warm sun. Grill out some good summer food and spent the weekends with my family.
I'm so excited about my son and his girlfriend they are moving this weekend and will only be about ten minutes from us. No, I'm not one of those over protective mother's who will be at there door every night. But maybe I will get to spent more time with them.
My granddaughters are just delightful to me and I love having them visit also. So I am looking forward to enjoying my family a lot more this summer.
After 32 years of working my husband has decided to retire this summer. Finally, I will believe it when he has punch the clock for the last time. I sure won't miss packing his lunch or washing his dirty work clothes. I can't wait to throw away his lunch cooler and work boots. I know he will have to find something to keep him busy and he will. He stays pretty active when he is here. I just want him to enjoy his retirement. Take time to go places and take time to be with the family. He is always tired because he works long hours and I will be glad when he can finally breath deep and know his time belongs to him.
He has sacrificed for us all of these years and we don't give him thanks enough. He has always carried this family and provide for and protected us in every way. That's why I love him so much. He deserves to have a life of this own and not belong to a company that doesn't appreciate him like I do.
It will take me some getting used to having him home all day. I'll just have to adjust to having him around. I won't lose my cool when ever he watches every wood working, home building, handyman show on TV every Saturday. I'm sure I will have to cook more because he likes to eat. I can get used to having him around all day. His my best friend and who better than my best friend to hang out with all day. We have made it work for over thirty years together, so I think I can speak with experience. I've learn to except him for who he is and not to try to change him. I never put him down or ask him to do more than he can. I know he is a kind and gentle soul. No one could every replace him in my heart. We give each other space when it is needed and we don't always share the same interest. Some day's we don't have a lot of conversations. That's because I already know what he is thinking. We finish each other's sentence's sometimes.
We share the housework. He cleans up his mess and I clean up mine. So the house stay's clean.
I guess that's why I am so sure that's having him home all day will be just fine........
