I had a call from my cousin, Sherry, today. She’s about a month older than me and she’s a retired teacher. Sherry has always been a flighty, constantly on the go type person, and retirement hasn’t changed that for her. She’s substitute teaching, going on trips, working at a golf course, and more.
She says to me: “What do you DO all day?”
What’s funny is that 5 minutes before she called, I had just said to Perry that I don’t know how I kept up with everything when I worked and was a single Mom because there aren’t enough hours in the day the way it is now. Chatting with Sherry while making dinner, she let me know that her husband is a “grown ass man” that is more than capable of finding himself something to eat. He’s also responsible for his own laundry and the yard.
No pets and no household responsibilities? Now I’m wondering what SHE does all day. 🙂
How does she survive without dogs?
Although they are a whole lot of work — and get 1/2 of every meal I sit down to eat — I think I’ll keep them.
Harvest is in a holding pattern here.
I thought the farmers quit early night before last and just knew they’d finish picking beans yesterday, but they’ve had a mechanical problem. I know this because the machinery is minus a wheel and hasn’t moved.
I hope they get harvest completed before we get rain, and I’m sure that’s what Farmer Rex is hoping for as well.
