We make cherry ice cream every cherry season, you read my mind! Blueberry ice cream after blueberry picking, etc. I love freshly made ice cream!

Let me know when you make the blueberry ice cream!

[MichelleLT]

Oooh, that sounds lovely!

End June is blueberry season. The cherries are just so pretty and soo yummy...

[Virtually_Handsome]

Now if I can just figure out an excuse to be there at the end of June. Hey, W, I'm going to CA, to meet my girlfriends....

Hmmm, back to the drawing board!

Wow where I grew up blueberry season wasn't until the ends of August. Gotta love the sub artic huh?

You're doing so well CW. It's great that you don't offer solutions for him when he's got the kids. Like you said in previous posts he needs to learn how to do it without you around to help him.

It's obvious he cares so much for you. Just give him more patience. Someone wrote to "give H enough space so that he hangs himself" LOL

H came to pick up the kids last night and we are back where we were pre-Sunday. H didn't have dinner ready, was taking the kids out to eat and invited me along. Since I work this evening and had to take a shower, I said I could only go if we went somewhere quick. I didn't jump at the chance. The kids didn't want to go where I suggested and H hung around with the kids for a good 20 minutes while I sat on the stairs. We were all talking, joking, etc. H commented on how tan I was, which I confirmed and credited the biking riding, gardening and swimming I've been doing. (GAL.)

I could have gone out to dinner with them. Kind of wanted to, but also wanted to make it seem like I wasn't too eager. H waltzed out the door very slowly, the kids were already at the car. He looked at me all sappy, but not with that "alien" look that I've gotten so many times over the past few months, but not the "in love" look either. As I stood there saying goodnight to my kids, I said, "This sucks." He said it did. Then I said, "But, it is what it is and this is the way it's going to be forever. I'm OK with it." because I wanted to kind of make up for the "sucks" slip.

ah. I miss my family.

And I'm sure your H misses being a family too. I'm sure you not going to dinner with them made him think. Give it time to sink in.

You sound good (as good as could be expected at least).

I'm sure all of us on here feel the same things, and we can't all be crazy right!

[cw68]

And he texted me from dinner while I was writing the above. I didn't respond, didn't mention it when I called the kids to say goodnight.

Hey Jen, I noticed today that I already have a green pepper and two tomatoes growing.

[MichelleLT]

Hmmmm interesting!
