Today I was sitting in the doctor's office waiting for my appointment - because I had finally managed to sort out a good day for me and papa- I left papa in capable hands of g'kid, his brother and his friend- I was relaxing and just enjoying a few minutes of quiet-yes, quiet as there seemed to be a shortage of patients in our town--LOL - I was skimming a magazine as I have learned not to start reading an interesting article as that will be the day the doctor is on time-when I saw an page of hints- on hint was tabled ''tired towels'' and of course told how the said towels can be revived- well, I never noticed my towels getting tired before today but I do know what tired is....so tired that putting one foot in front of the other is work ......It made me wonder who in this world of the good and the bad and the ugly would worry about their towels being tired? I guess the hint person and the magazine certainly do/did- If I knew what tired towels were I certainly would do something to revive them beyond washing them and tossing them into the dryer--LOL- if you read to the end of the story I will tell you what to do with your tired towels-
Papa had a rough week and was unable to go for his chemo- he just did not have enough strength to even go for the blood work- we can no longer go for the mail as it is too far for him to go there and come back. We stayed at home until today and then he was able to go for a ride with a friend- he was tuckered out but also lifted up- he was able to see something beyond our four walls- our four walls are nice to see but looking at them day after day makes papa a dull boy- so the ride was a good thing for him as it gave he something to chat about...
Papa is still papa though- during most of our marriage when ever he got a spare dollar here or there he would always split the money between him and I( or is that me?). He sold one of his big saws and tonight he took the money out of his wallet and split it in half- half for me and half for him and he always gives me the bigger half. So now we both will have some fun---- and me being me I have already forgot where I put my half.....(smile).
there is not much other news beyond our four walls- we have had two hot days in a row and spring seems to have sprung in our neighbor hood-
oh yes, about the tired towels- put them in the washer with hot water and double soup and soak and wash and rinse twice- personally I think my towels will stay tired.......
Remember to have with a gentle spirit, a compassionate heart and quiet patience
and you will accomplish much moretoday and tomorrow.
have a great week end and Meme will return- and here is some strength for your journey:

"But I say to you that listen, Love your enemies, do good to those who hateyou, bless those who curse you, pray for those who abuse you. If anyonestrikes you on the cheek, offer the other also; and from anyone who takesaway your coat do not withhold even your shirt. Give to everyone who begsfrom you; and if anyone takes away your goods, do not ask for them again. Do to others as you would have them do to you." ~Luke 6:27-31
Huggles Me, Meme aka Papa's wife.......
