Wow! You have a lot more fun with your phone than I do....but mine doesn't take pictures so that limits my abilities.
Anyway, some more positive interaction. That is good! And maybe H was sounding uninterested on the phone the other night b/c he is tired, tired of being on the road, or just wasn't in a talking mood. Sometimes I assign feelings to my H's behaviors and find out when talking to him later that I was off the mark.
The comment about you being better than anything on the menu can't be taken as anything but a good thing, right??
Yeah it is good, especially since I am very sure that at least one of the EAs is on the trip and would have been at dinner.
