We drove back to Roanoke on Saturday (actually Billie drove the whole way, again, 13 hours behind the wheel.) On Monday, she went back to work … in the third bedroom, headphones on, insurance-claims-adjusting for about 10 hours/day. (I am sooo glad to be a retired person!)
Meanwhile I converted a pillow to a wall-hanging,

watched a lot of stuff on the dvr, went for a long walk,


and made dinner every night Billie worked:
Fried Chicken Salad,
Couscous Salad with Chicken, Avocado and Tomatillo Dressing (too limey),
Pasta with Chickpeas (from a Cooks Illustrated Magazine-WOW, delicious!),
