Brenden took off early Tuesday morning to attend the Western History Association conference in Denver. Its been pretty lonely here without him. There are quite a few things Brenden does that I took for granted. . .
1. Brenden takes out the trash. I have to admit the trash hasn't been taken out since Monday and today is Saturday. I just keep pushing it down hoping that the lid still closes.
2. Brenden gets the mail. I am sure that our mail man is getting tired of having to stuff the mail into the already full mailbox. Someday I am going to take a picture of our mail man. He is pretty tough. If I had to guess, his name is Diesel.
3. Brenden changes the channels on the TV. I have noticed that when I sit down and watch TV I leave it on the TV guide channel. I really shouldn't be satisfied with this.
4. Brenden will get up to get me a drink of water right after we have tucked ourselves into bed and turned out the light. Yes, I have had to get up and get my own water.
5. Brenden is more fun to talk to than Emmie. Although I love Emmie, she isn't the best conversationalist.
We will be happy when he is back here with us. Since this post is about Brenden, I will toot his horn for him. He won the Walter Rundell Graduate Student Award from the WHA. It came with a good chunk of change to use for his dissertation. We are very proud of him!
