Saturday Morning

Hey all. It's the morning after my first night alone in this house. I went to bed, snuggled a pillow or two, and promptly went off to sleep about 11:15. I woke up just before 7:30AM, cold and alone (except for the dog who was snuggled close by). About five minutes after I woke up, as I was just laying there thinking about Ben, the phone rang and there he was calling to say good morning. He was bemoaning the fact that the person who had been driving for the past few hours was a "Drive 55; arrive alive (or eventually)" kind of driver. He sounded like he was in good spirits and I know he will be glad he went on this trip. Today I am going to drive to the Detroit area and see Mother. She is in the process of getting ready to move, so there is much to be done. Tomorrow is church and I will probably go visit some friends after that, so I won't be home alone quite so much. All you who are faithful readers, please let me know if I get whiney this week. I tend to do that when I am alone. I hope that the weather coopeartes today and tomorrow -- I hate driving in yucky weather. Have a great Saturday and hug someone special.
