I woke up giggling because of yesterday’s situation. OK, it is 2:30 pm, and Mary has been sitting watching TV and doing her needlepoint for quite a while. As a dutiful husband, I stepped out of the 85-degree heat to check on Mary and see if she needed anything. She said, “Yes, please get me some sockies.” The TV was on, and I was sure I heard what she wanted even though it was early in the afternoon. So, I go into the kitchen and find a new, unopened box of fine “sake”. I poured it into a nice glass and proudly brought it to Mary.
She looked at my kinda funny and said, “Sweetie, I wanted SOCKS, my feet are cold!” We both had a good laugh. Yes, Mary did finish the glass of sake!
The weatherman forecasts a high of 82 today. We talked to Colleen yesterday, and it was four (yes, 4) degrees! She is ready for her visit to begin next Sunday.
