Dear Hubby and the dogs survived my time away at the conference.  However, DH is exhausted from the extra work and I’ve pampered him a lot today.  After all, he was the one who made sure that I could attend the conference.  It isn’t easy for him to be alone and I did make certain that friends and neighbors kept an eye on him and were ready to lend him a hand when necessary.  He can no longer stand long enough to cook a meal for himself.  I offered to make and freeze some dinners for him so all he had to do was microwave them but he said, “It’s only 4 dinners, 4 lunches, and 4 breakfasts.  We have dozens of places around here who deliver that I can choose from for my meals.”

     Tonight DH and the pups were thrilled with the smells of cooking going on after four days of take out/delivered dinners.  DH, Gavin, and Patty were doing a happy dance.  “Oh, boy!  Home cooking.”

     Some of us had arranged to go to Pittsburgh on Thursday so we’d have a little time to recover from the looooong drive before the conference began.  We went out to Joe’s Crab Shack for dinner.  The food was good, the company great, and I do believe it set the mood for the weekend—FUN.

     Tomorrow I’ll share some of the fun.
