I enjoyed your story. The viewpoint of the homemaker now with her husband at home with her was a good one.

Love it!
I loved this!!! The first line really hooked me. You perfectly captured life of a new retiree and home life with a "career homemaker." I know, because the first part is my dad's story to a T ;-) The humor was great and I enjoyed how things smoothed out for the two, and his new purpose in life. Great job and congrats on your placing!

At first I thought there was an intruder in her house... well I guess he was...but in a different sense of the word. Lovely how her annoyance melded with his exuberance into a comfortable existence with new purpose.
