Doreen and Don have driven from Toronto to visit us in our new home in Mississippi. They have been here for two weeks and two days. We will miss them when they leave tomorrow. They are easy guests to have in the house and they help us with tasks both large and small. Today was a perfect example.
Don accompanied Ken a week ago when he went to have surgery to remover more of the cancer cells from near his ear. Today once again Don drove Ken to the surgeons office to have the stitches removed. Don is good company for Ken plus saving me time and energy. Both Ken and I appreciate Don's efforts.
This afternoon, Doreen and I went grocery shopping to stock the freezer, fridge and pantry. Both of us wheeled a cart, picking up goodies as we went, Doreen on one side of the store and me on the other. Our baskets were loaded and the back seat of the truck full. When we got home, Doreen brought all the bags in from the truck while I put the items away in the pantry, fridge and freezer. We were both weary when we were finished but Ken and I are set for the rest of our time in Mississippi. It would have taken me 30 trips to bring the grocery bags into the kitchen without the help from Doreen.
Then after we sat down for a glass of water, Doreen cooked the salmon and fried potatoes for dinner. My contribution was the rolls and the salad, both purchased at the store. Our dinner was pleasant and delicious, as usual, all thanks to Doreen.
We will miss their presence in our life and we will miss all their help. Now we wish them safe travels.
