It was just me and the fur kids today. Hubby is off to the funeral and I am here with the pups keeping the home fires burning. By burning I mean that I shoveled the patio off so I can once again walk the pups without slipping and sliding around. Fritz and Greta assisted me with this chore. Sadly, the puppies had to remain inside because they are not the best “helpers” when one is shoveling snow.
Once I was done, I brought Fritz and Greta in and did take the two young ones out for a run in the yard.
All this was done while I had my cell phone clipped to my belt waiting to hear from Hubby. He called from each airport he visited on his way to the funeral.
In some ways, waiting for his calls reminded me of when we were dating and first married and he was still flying all over the world. His calls were always the best parts of my days and like a teenager, made me feel special and sometimes silly. This was before cell phones were a normal part of a persons life and I had to wait by the phone at home.
Today while I waited to hear from him I:
Shoveled the patio
I walked the dogs
Went to the Post Office
Did laundry
Walked the dogs again
Watched a movie (The Queen, good movie!)
Fed the dogs
Cooked myself some French Onion Soup
Walked the dogs again
All while I waited with the cell phone clipped to my belt. The calls came and each one made me smile and filled me with that special feeling you get when you talk to the one you love, reminding me once again how lucky we are to have found each other all those years ago.
That’s cute you’re having a little reminder of the early romance. 🙂 You’re a true romantic!
Cell phones are one of the best invention over the last years ! I couldn’t live without one and feel “naked” when I forgot it. Sometimes I wonder how I did before !
Hi Maribeth – thanks for the comment over at my wee Scottish blog! Yes we got the laptop and it has Vista. The jury is still out……..
Glad to hear you enjoyed The Queen – we thoroughly enjoyed it but I have to confess I wasn’t sure how well it would translate to non-Brits. Nice to know it travelled well!
And send us some snow, will you – it’s been raining here for weeks!
Loved The Queen!
It’s so great to read this post about your doings.
U know why?
You do not need to go to a Gym, and pay wowow, you trim with your beautiful dogs.
— believe me, you can even have your trim with cats – if you only know how to play with them, and you know, they are fast, quick and fast, so if you are to, ohoh, that’s trim.
Great trim
Aboout time for some bubbles?
How lovely, still a romantic…
I liked that movie as ewll, The Queen. We saw it last year at the Open Air Cinema we have at work. It is a big outdoor cinema screen, that is set into Sydney Harbour. It comes up, and you watch the movie with the Sydney City night skyline behind! It is great fun… http://www.stgeorgeopenair.com.au/posters/
This year, we will be seeing 27 Dresses on Valentines Day, oh dear, how romantic…
