ZZZZZZZZZZZ,,,,that kind of day...

It rained off and on this morning but we were able to finish the street we were assigned to do. Eileen came out and our first call was the home of an elderly couple. The wife was in their little room off the carport looking for a mop. As we got closer, we saw where she had dropped a large bottle of molasses and it was broken. We offered to help and their nurses aide came out and helped also. It was a mess. He couldn't walk good and apologized for his hair because he hadn't been awake long and had not combed his hair yet. He wore thick glasses but could hear well and had a great memory. She was a tiny little thing and her hearing wasn't very good but she did pretty well with her memory also. They moved there in 1969 when they first got married (2nd marriages for both). When we got ready to leave I leaned over and told him I thought his hair looked great - that a lot of young men used a lot of products to get their hair to stand up on end on the top like his did naturally and we all laughed. I didn't get to sleep until after 3:30am this morning so by the afternoon I was pretty tired. At one point, a call was running long so I laid my seat back a little to rest my eyes and noticed when I looked back that the brother in the back seat was asleep. I had the windows open to feel the breeze and every so often, I would hear his breathing change. Then all of a sudden I heard someone snoring and it was ME!!!!! :-)ZZZZZZZ I laughed and asked him if I had snored a lot and he said just as you were waking up. We decided to make a few more calls that were out in the country and on one of them, the brother who was in the back seat and his wife went on the call and I spoke to the sister beside me. When she didn't answer I looked over and before they had reached the door, she had her head back and was gone! ZZZZZZZI couldn't believe how quickly she fell asleep and stayed that way as I fumbled with my phone to get the picture. We let her know she wasn't alone but it was about that time we all decided it was time to call it quits for the day. Yesterday was so sunny and I forgot to put another picture I took with my camera of a chalk drawn hopscotch outline! I can't remember the last time I played hopscotch. We used to draw ours in the dirt with sticks or if we were in town, we would use a rock and scrape it out on the sidewalk. You can just barely make it out but it would work. It reminds me of other games we used top play (before people sat in front of the TV all day or computer or computer games.) Pick up Stix Jacks Jump Rope Hula Hoop Roller Skating Or guess what? In my case, many times we would just go for long walks in the woods, ride the horses, play badmitton over the fence beside my house, climb trees, swing on old grape vines like Tarzan, play games with other kids like cowboy and indians or just sit on the porch in the swing or on a blanket under some trees and daydream. Oh Yeah - those were good times but of course we didn't realize that until we were much older.
