loving at 70
I can't believe I'm starting to post twice a day. I just could help mentioning who we had over tonight. We had the Hoels, and Arnesons, and the Nasetts to our home. All of the couples were very humorous and fun to talk with. The Hoels (bob and shirley) are in their late 70's. Shirley is getting over some physical problems. She was in the hospital and nursing home recently. They were telling us tonight of all the adventures bob had while he was loning it. He didn't know where to put the water to make coffee, and after he figured that out, he didn't put the coffee grounds in the machine. He has learned how to make oatmeal, coffee, and cookies. Shirley was saying that she is going to rent him out. He can cook, clean, shampoo hair, ect. ( : She is getting shaky and frail, yet they both tease and joke. This is the couple that keep a running count of who is winning at scrabble. (They play every day...at least they used to before she started having problems.) They two people have been a great encouragement and example to me. The love they show toward each other is something I can only hope to mimick someday.Well, I need to get back to studying Chemistry and Physics for the Elementary Teacher. "Chemistry and Physics in elementary?" Don't question. Just nod your head.
