THE LAST LOAF in Postcards 4

Life is different these days now that our house has two slow folks in it. It does take two hands to make a loaf of bread even in a bread machine. Bringing two weeks of laundry up two flights of stairs isn’t functional any more. Hanging laundry requires a certain elan I’m sometimes missing. So we hired the eldest daughter.

This visit we paid her with brake and clutch pads for her little Toyota RAV4. She had no trouble popping them on. Money, lunches, and dinners are other methods of payment. She retaliated by using the chair lift for the heaviest of the work. Bravo for her imagination.
