Yesterday we made our last trip to Wally-World, after having scrambled eggs with jalapenos, onions, and green peppers for breakfast at the diner, to buy things we think we can't do without while being holed on the mountain. Observing what people can't do without when preparing for a hurricane or snowstorm is entertainment in itself. During this visit, items that filled the shopping carts in order of importance were beer, soda, water, and toilet paper. I bought more bird seed and cat food. Cliff has enough fuel for the generator if we lose power again and the little red car is parked down at the bottom of the mountain. Let it snow............
Some days are full of doing tasks and chores that Cliff did for me. The floor wasn't that dirty but he enjoyed saying. "Guess I need to pull out the vacuum. I'm tripping over debris." I thanked him. Whenever I was in the kitchen trying out new recipes, making cookies or the double batch tapioca pudding for him, he was there beside (getting in my way sometimes) washing the utensils, pots/pans, cutting boards, drying them and putting everything back in their proper places only to have me take some things back out and reuse again. "I just washed that" he would state. He learned to ask if I were through with things before he cleaned up after me. I thanked him. He emptied the dishwasher when it was finished in such an orderly manner (getting in my way sometimes because I was also in the kitchen working but he wanted to be there with me). I thanked him. Every morning he made my bed reminding me of the order that the pillows needed to be placed. John&
