“YOU too, Will be a SENIOR CITIZEN”

Jun 10th “YOU too, Will be a SENIOR CITIZEN”

Fun Working with “Seniors”

When I came to St. Louis, this time, our family planned to move back…

with ME doing the house hunting… looking for a house to buy, with the help of my, Aunt Irene.

On my driving trip and for company while driving, also brought two children with me, from Florida.

While we were up here, my husband, Lee was still in Florida, getting our tings ready for the Movers to bring up and deliver to the house that… I was looking to find and buy, just as fast as I could, and… at the same time… also looking to find a place to work… as soon as possible!

So… and as the usual thing to do… when staying with someone…I did decide to help out our Aunt Irene, with the extra work, as with the two children along and in need of extra care and clean up work… as we were lucky … maybe only staying a couple weeks, our clothes were getting dirty and I felt… that I should do the laundry as usual and just like I did in Florida.

As old as Aunt Irene was … there was no changing her in her laundry equipment.

She was still using a ringer-washing machine, and for just herself, sent somethings out to the Cleaners, and then some things… she would hand wash….very carefully.

I was using a new Kenmar Wash Machine in Florida, but… the best part of living in Florida… I did enjoy always hanging the wash out on the lines.

Clothes hanging outside on the lines, are given just a little something extra special… in their hanging out on those lines , especially in the “Florida Sunshine.”

So… I had to put up some lines between the trees and carry out basket after basket of wet clothes – just as fast as I could … coordinate the wash-machine with wash and rinse cycles, and also using the “ringer” very carefully, so… as not… to catch my arm in it – and so… I was as busy… and as busy as one could ever be!

It was fun for me and in the between running in and outside… we all sat outside in the yard… watching the clothes wave and blow in the wind.

The sunshine was better and the clothes seem to dry faster in Florida.

It may seem silly – but, that is one of the things, that I do enjoy doing – hanging the wash outside and on the lines for the freshness and so much easier to fold sheets and pillow cases.

To put the folded linens away after being in the Sunshine – gives the linen closet a much fresher smell, and when finally used on the beds – helps you to get that… much better nights’ sleep!

That was a real good time for all of us… to be under one roof – together.

Working and having fun means a lot to “senior citizens” – and I do know that our Aunt Irene was enjoying herself… as much as I did.

I know this, because… I now am a senior citizen and now the shoe is on the other foot!

Have fun … all the “LIVE LONG DAY”… while YOU… are working with the “senior citizens” in your family!
