Ian's task is self appointed. He has elected to clean the kitchen after dinner, which includes loading the dishwasher and scrubbing the pots and pans. And he clears the dishes from the table. According to Ian, his job description is narrow. It does not include cooking at all and he does not serve dessert. He also takes the trash to the chute. No one asked Ian to perform these very useful jobs but he announced that he had selected these tasks for himself and he would prefer that no one try to intrude onto his responsibilities. We laughed and assured him that we would leave the jobs to him.
Ken has named him The Scullery Maid, so that is what he calls himself. I must say that having a Scullery Maid in the house is a huge asset. I never knew we needed one until now.
Last year, when Rita and Ian were in the ocean, Rita had the topof her bathing suit pulled off in the high waves. Fortunately, they found it. Before they came this year, their daughter Renee took Rita shopping and bought her two new bathing suits, so no mishaps could occur this year. Of course, Rita is in an air cast and can not go into the ocean but she is enjoying the new bathing suits while sitting around the pool, all thanks to Renee. The bathing suits have stayed right in place and look lovely. Hat's off to Renee.
