A Typical Day

Different stages of life brought different typical days.  I had a great childhood.  My Dad made a playhouse in the back yard.  I would have dolls and tea parties there.  So I guess my typical day was to go to school, come home, change clothes and go out to play until the dinner bell rang.  My Mom never worried where I was because once she rang the dinner bell (a cow bell), I would come running.

Before marriage, a typical day was to go to work, come home to a hot meal, help a little around the house, go to bed, repeat the next day.  Friday was pay day so I would go shopping with a friend.

Before having children, a typical day was to work hard all week so we could party on the weekends.

I struggle to think if those days were any different from today.  I am retired and I guess I never liked to be just a housewife.  I care for sweet Dave who has a different typical day.  He tends to sleep alot.  I try to keep him going.  He doesn't want to get out of bed and eats poorly when he does.  I think the trick or key to happiness is not to think about it.

The final Goodbye

Dave passed away last month. I watched him get so skinny.  It was difficult for him to swallow but somehow the aide helped him with oatmeal ...
