The ladies of the house went on a big shopping trip all weekend. Down to the outlets malls in New York State. Leaving me alone to fend for myself and look after the dogs. It has been a couple of days of pizza, bacon sandwiches and beer. It's the old bachelor days all over again.To tell you the truth I don't miss it for the world. The peace and quiet is nice for awhile but then it gets kind of lonely. There is a sink full of dishes and newspapers every where. I heard from them this morning and they are headed back shortly. They are bringing a ton of packages back with them. They shopped until they dropped.They have everything from pants to north face coats women they love to shop. I hope they aren't too tired to get this house straightened out when they get back.
