Hey Colleen! thanks for stopping by my thread and offering your words of encouragement. I will take you up on it at the next opportunity.

Regarding your H's love bank - keep a close ear and eye on him while he is home and I bet he offers up some clues without even knowing it.

I love to do things for my H - unexpected things. Like when he goes on a hunting or fishing weekend, I will put together a care package of things related to it - eg. for fishing walleyes, I put in some Rapala's, some spoon lures, some treats for out in the boat, a disposable camera, etc. Or simply slipping notes into various pockets - with ILY's or other suggestive thoughts on them. Or since yours likes art, find one of those fancy postcards on the Metropolitan Museum of Art website and send them to him, saying that you also appreciate the fine things in life - like him in yours...

Corny enough for you? I hope that my H will be home sometime soon, so I can resume those things. In the meantime, I will live vicariously through your successes.

Have a great time with H home this week. I'm glad that your meds arrived.
