Greetings Eeyore and welcome to the forums. It is not necessary to introduce yourself to get a response here. Share more about yourself whenever you get ready and/or are comfortable.

I can imagine that you DID feel lonely and isn't it funny how "relaxing" means so many different things to different people. Maybe puttering is your hubby's way of letting his hair down and relaxing??? Is this your first time to this particular lake place? If not, has he acted this way before?

Again, welcome to the forums! We so glad you've joined us and hope you feel like sharing more as time goes on.
