Echoes through the house when he’s home.  This morning it’s the Little River Band.  He’s getting ready to make his favorite eggplant dish.  Will make myself scares as the mess is overwhelming but he gets it cleaned up eventually.  Good time for me to start my new book. He’ll be in the kitchen at least 3 hours.  His cooking and his music makes him happy.  And I’m always happy when he’s happy.  Days of bliss with my retired groom.
