And the DH's enjoy the little guilt they feel thinking we'll be devastated if they go hunting, golfing or car racing! Let's just keep that out little secret.
There are some benefits to living alone and in retirement - don't have to put everything away, eat when and what you want, don't have to listen to extreme sports while you quilt, etc!

I actually am taking vacation from work from now until Monday night and would be thrilled if I don't have to leave the house before then. :-D
ROTF! I'm also "on vacation". My DH works with FEMA and is deployed to the flooding so I have the entire house to myself. God is good.
One of my daughters called and offered to come home from college for the weekend so I wouldn't have to be alone. It was all I could do not to hang up on her. LOL

I probably would take phone off hook(after I thank my kids and tell them that I'm ok ), close the blinds, lock all doors. Maybe not even get out of my pj's. Sounds heavenly. I love the family time, but also the alone time. emily

Don't cook, no housework, get a big bottle of "beverage", put on music you like, sleep in if you like and do whatever your little heart desires (quilting) ;-) Just have a great time :P :P
