My refrigerator is running strong!
My wife took our 3 daughters to their grandparents in Missouri yesterday to stay with em for the upcoming week and attend VBS at the grandparents church. Other than one of the older two daughters occasionally staying the night at a friends we've had em with us all their lives. They are 14, 10 and 4 years old. Lastnight was the first time the wife and I have been home alone in 14yrs. It's weird and much too quiet. I was sitting here eating some bacon and eggs a while ago and noticed the refrigerator humming. I don't know that I've ever noticed that before. The ceiling fan makes a wooshing sound and evidently the ringing I hear in my ears when trying to go to sleep at night rings in the daytime too.
My 4yo Clara aka The Warden had Nana call me at 8am this morning to make sure I was up and dressed for the day. Yeah, I liked that. It made me laugh and miss her personally doing it everyday. On days I try to sleep in it's only til 8 cuz that's what time Warden Clara makes her rounds. It was kinda weird not walking in the living room to the girls watching Dvr recordings of Green Acres. Anyhow, just a little Dad missing his kids and realizing the refrigerator makes noise story. I'm sure many of y'all have similar stories and to those of you who don't yet.......that song that says something like "you're gonna miss this"........yep, you will.

We’re empty nesters. About the time they come home, you’ll just be getting into a routine.
On the flip side, there’s something about making coffee in your underwear...
Lol. I walked in the kitchen this morning in my underwear and told my wife I was gonna fry bacon and eggs. She recommended I put more clothes on. I got along just fine. I expected her to say something like "you're fulfilling one of my wildest fantasies of watching a sexy man fry breakfast in his underwear!" Nope. She didn't say anything like that.

Funny and cute, Green acres is the place to be, farm living is the life for me.. We sing it regularly around here.. You should have gone into the kitchen in your birthday suit that would have gotten the wife a going.. Ours are grown and gone, so birthday suit attire isn't uncommon even outdoors after dark.. That there TX longhorn looks like a trophy animal.. The warden needs to call at 10 to make sure your in bed..

That longhorn belongs to my neighbor and he likes to bug us while we work his angus cattle.
