Stone Soup by Jan Eliot for July 15, 2013

Are you kidding? It’s FANTASTIC to have some time to yourself!

Trekman58, I’ll take that bet. I cherish any time alone I can get. A week alone in the house to do things that are nearly impossible to do with my husband saying “Why do you want to keep that? What is this? How long has it been since you’ve worn that?” I could get so much accomplished and eat exactly what I want for a change!

Is Arnold coming for a visit perhaps?

One word: Arnold.

Next, Evie is saying, “Here let me help you pack up so you can get on the road!” ;-)

I’ll take that bet too. I love my alone time when the family goes camping. I look forward to it and cherish every moment, even if I do spend many of those moments scrubbing & sealing slate floors or painting. I get to do it UNDISTURBED!!!!! Yay!!!!

No kids squabbling for a week – heaven.

Never underestimate old people, they’ll surprise you every time.

. . . and I can read GoComics all I want without feeling guilty.

Me too Val.

Hey, didn’t Granny go visit her boyfriend not too long ago? She gets away a lot more than Val.

I’ll take Trekman’s bet too. Sometimes the biggest challenge in life is just to be alone for a while. If I were Evie, I’d have it all planned out – the books, the treats … maybe a call to Arnold, just in case he could fly in for a couple of days … lol!
