My noisemaker, Gary he is progressing everyday. Today he walked up the path and back, an important step to get outside and take in the country air. Yesterday, I knew he was getting better as I heard this string of curse words and thought - ah, yes - my noisemaker is in fine form, he has returned.
I am still having to do wood and I will have to continue as Gary cannot lift much. I load up the wood stack every morning. I bring in about 12, two at a time - it takes me forever, but I get it done. When it is fire time, I bring 2 pieces to the woodstove. Noisemaker hovers over me, making certain I am positioning the pieces correctly. Then, he steps into place with his papers and lighter - poof - there is fire!
He enjoys to do that and it makes him feel like he is making a contribution to our little home. Trust me, he is making a major contribution to our home!
At the end of the month, Gary will have to return to the hospital for a check up/recall. I don't know how we will get there as he cannot drive; so I may have to pull out my broom and launch us into orbit. Beware!

I am posting a day early here, because the events of tomorrow, I know I will be busy. 1920, March 14th - my father was born, I look back on ...
Sounds to me like the proper salutation is Mr. AND Mrs. Noisemaker!
ReplyDeleteGirl... don't you have a wheelbarrow? At least you could do 4 or 5 at a time!! Glad to hear that the Unit of Spouse is recuperating nicely, so sorry you've had a rough couple of weeks! No more quiet nights, noisemakers are a good thing, eh?
ReplyDeleteah, yes, the wheelbarrow - it is not the first time folks have asked me why I do not utilize a wheelbarrow. It is not feasible...here is how it works. I pick up two pieces of wood, I walk ten/twelve steps to the porch, I walk up five steps and load the two pieces in the rack. With my damn luck with the wheelbarrow I would load it up uneven and it would tumble over. That happened to me several times with the rocks. :)
