Had a fun day today shopping with j. She and I make up the 50% of BVG's who are retired and whose husbands are also retired. My retired husband was able to drive me to her house and drop me off so he could have the car for the day for running errands, since j was driving us to Tacoma. Her retired husband was busy with errands today but returned just before my husband and I were about to drive away. More the most part---and I would say almost 99% of the time---j and I are thrilled to have them around the house with us in the daytime, but there are those moments when we miss our alone time and our ability to get a zillion things done in a day, and quickly so, because we had the full day to ourselves. I can't say we've ever been startled by them, as the couple above, but just a little frustrated at times. It is all kept in perspective, though, by the fact that our friend Laurie who joined us today would give anything to have her retired husband be around the house with her these days. He passed away eight and a half months ago. So we don't complain about this minor frustration. How blessed we are!
