Thanks Jackie and Cathy.

I like your thinking - we think alike. But great minds do - don't they?

So the next time I get the smile and "what are you thinking" I will answer him out loud.

Short and sweet and to the point. Something along the lines of "I'm thinking about how nice it would be for you to live here or move back home"...

I'll work up a line that I am comfortable with and have it ready.

I'm not scared to say anything at this point. I don't want him to become too complacent with our sitch especially with all the that is happening at all hours of the day!

In fact, it has been an act in PATIENCE to stop from saying anything.

Thanks for your support. I'll keep giving as good as I get from you folks!
