Volunteers

Hello,

Volunteers are so much appreciated, especially when they are unexpected. In the back yard there are now four impatients volunteering and sharing their beauty. It almost seems like a rare discovery to find them opening their buds. One of them is transplanted into the impatient bed and doing extremely well.

One human volunteer helped Leroy to move the nonworking washer out of the basement. Before it was over he might have regretted his impulse. There was much huffing, puffing, groaning, and moaning before the job was finished. “Why aren’t we 30 years younger?” was said during a time of breathing and resting. That washer was very heavy, but it is gone now and I am glad. There is a little more room to move around in the laundry area.

It is amazing how one person’s joy is another’s job. Miriam was looking for flights for Leroy and I to visit (and babysit) in October.

“You don’t have to do that right now,” Leroy said as we were talking to her.

“It is alright,” she said, “It is fun.”

Not fun in our book, but a chore.

I have some ear wax that defies Leroy’s efforts. I have put “stuff” in the ear that is supposed to soften it. Leroy washes and washes until he is tired. So far only a very little bit of odd looking material has come out. Am I going to have to have a Dr. do this? That seems so excessive since we have taken care of this problem more than once in the past. To be controlled by ear wax alters the importance of things.
