I think it means a lot. Everyting you mention -- as a woman, I assure you, those womanly nurturing things are very purposefully done, and with a lot of pleasure too. I think you should keep hope alive.
My H hung out with us a lot too, and it was nice and my kids were really happy. He even at one point took out his buzzer and asked me to buzz the hair on his neck -- granted it was part of whining about how he has no money to go to a barber, but it's still a very wife-ly thing to ask someone to do.
Next day, he took the car and left town. Freaked him out to get close, I guess. And he has done some gross things since.
Point is, it's a pendulum. But at some point, Bob from Rejoice Ministries always says, if you keep the faith, the pendulum is gonna swing all the way back over. It's just a question if you want to make it clear that you are open to it. Maybe you don't yet. Maybe you never will. But to me it definitely sounds like she is thinking of you in a good way. Gifts to you and everything, and signing things from the both of you especially. I imagine she was very confused by her own feelings too.

I believe I will see the bounty of the Lord in the land of the living. Wait for the Lord with courage. Be stouthearted, and wait for the Lord.
