I've been wanting to update for the past couple of days, but with the shrinking amount of time I have here ,I been trying to check in on others as much as I can.

It's late, but I'll try to fit in as much as I can. On Thursday, I got a call from my father. It was an invite to a picnic on Saturday in Vermont. CAW wasted no time on her decision not to go. D10 said she didn't want to go either. Not really looking forward to making the trip alone, I told my Dad I would get back to him on Friday. When I came home Friday evening, D10 had changed her mind, so I called Dad and told him we were coming. That evening, CAW's gestures of affection had noticably cooled and that brought on the "here we go again" sensation, but I tried to keep it under wraps.

Saturday, D10 & I left at 9:00 am and came back home at 9:30 pm. We had a nice visit. CAW spent the entire day cleaning D10's room. From D10's inquiry, CAW said she started missing us by about 7:00 pm. Sunday, the weather was perfect to finish digging out with a neighbor's help, the two boulders I had started working on during the spring. Filled in the holes and reseeded. Afterwards, we went shopping and while walking around in stores, CAW put her arms around me several times. Monday was a pleasant lazy day.

Then Tuesday, I woke up to something totally different! CAW had reach over and gave me a kiss before getting up out of bed. It was the start of a lot of new gestures she hasn't done before. I came home from work to be greeted by a big smile, hug and kiss. (Usually, I greet her when I come home). When we went to bed, CAW took my hand and pressed against her cheek and held it there as she fell asleep.

Wednesday I woke up to another kiss by CAW. It was CAW's first day back to work and had tired her out. So that evening after talking about her day, we went to bed early and watch some TV, when she started rubbing her cheek against my arm and we ended up snuggle up for the night.

and again this morning another kiss and more gestures as Lisa (tielbeigle) put its ... acting like being "in love" (sorta like the term "puppy love") ... like someone turned the "on" switch.

Also, I need to mention, that during the summer she would wear her rings mostly only in public, saying her fingers were swollen. She usually wears four - her diamond engagement ring, wedding band, a mother's ring and a heart shaped ruby I gave her. Well for the last two weeks, I've noticed she has been keeping her wedding band on whenever she takes the other ones off.

The only thing still obviously lacking is the ILY's, but I'll keep my fingers crossed.

Well, better get to bed, gotta get up for work in less than three hours.

'til later,
KAW
