Wandering Along the Path: Right Speech

We had a relaxing time at the cabin and the weather was nice enough for just a light jacket.  There are still lumps of snow everywhere, mostly dirty, but they are melting quickly.  Our grandson tried to make snowballs and sled on a saucer, but we would have had to drive him to better snow, and we all felt like not getting in the car while we were there.  No wildflowers yet, but there were beautiful butterflies around, and one was an amazing orange pattern, not a Monarch but even more spectacular, and it landed on our grandson and stayed for a few minutes.  I believe that had something to do with peanut butter and jelly sticky fingers.  We cooked three luscious meals:  salmon, then chicken pilliard, then turkey meatloaf and mashed potatoes.  We made big breakfasts also.  Every morning we took a walk, then came back for lunch and sat on the deck in the afternoon.  I played many games of dominoes with my grandson, board games, and brought out the miniature fairy creatures, then the playground playmobil toys, then the horse and cattle playmobil, then I watched him play rockets, bunny family in the woods and other inventions.  

My husband can't sleep at the cabin, and he kept me awake as we rested on the pullout sofa bed, but despite his restlessness, I awoke ready to go every morning.  He slept until nine thirty this morning, and he's much less grumpy, but I'm still annoyed with him.  He often doesn't sleep well even at home, and he likes to tell me about it.  I figure it's his problem to solve, and the conversation is old.  My sympathy has dwindled over time.  Nothing I've ever suggested has helped or he won't try it, so I'm way done.
