Bored

Hubby goes out of town often. When he is gone, it is just me and Vet2Be. He gets bored sometimes and plays chess by himself. I'm not much of a chess player, and playing by himself gives him a chance to work out different strategies.

Sometimes I feel badly for him. But sometimes I think it is good for him to know how much he loves his Dad. And his brothers and sisters who are either married or away in school. 

I think solitude is something that is missing these days. There is always noise in the background. Cell phones, TVs, iPods..... not much time to sit and think things through.

We love it when everyone is home, too.
So much joy in the house!
