Thank you, ladies, for the heartfelt feedback, not to mention the "You go, Girl" encouragement to enjoy these few days of "freedom" to their fullest...which I did, including knocking a few remaining items off my personal "bucket list".
I've taken all of your suggestions to heart, including a gift of flowers, chocolates, and a sincere "Thank You" card as a starting point to welcome my wife back when she returns home later on this afternoon. I'll let you know in due course how it all went down, or if I did - LOL!
