Nothing says contentment like looking through clean windows. November 6th and it was a joy being outside to get the three sets of patio doors in the porch glistening. Dennis knew I had my head down and would not surface until the rest of the porch was cleaned as well. Even the cats disappeared. The afternoon was not lost on Dennis as the snowblower got moved from the back garage to the garage right off of our back door. Greased, oil changed and idling for a few minutes we should be all set when the weather does decide to turn.
I had it in my head for some time to make an old time salad. Some cottage cheese, a packet of dry Jello, a can of drained fruit cocktail and mini marshmallows tossed with a bit of whipped cream. Just something different for a change.
As I was mixing this concoction up I remember calling Elvera one afternoon for our three o’clock coffee session. She giggled when I asked her what she was having with her coffee. Elvera had found a fairly dried out bag of mini marshmallows and was enjoying them with her coffee. Snippets of memories are just plain sweet.
