If you thought you were working too hard, or your life was hard, read on.....

from Zelda:

I barely have time to read MountainWings.

I am 65 years old, work full time and do my own housework,
which becomes more of a challenge all the time.

My husband is disabled and unable to help me.
Right now I am picking up walnuts outside, to sell.
I am slower than I used to be at this, because this makes my one
whole leg and hip hurt.

My youngest son and his family were here for about 6 1/2 hours
tonight. Their children are 5, 3-1/2, and 1. The two oldest
are boys. They helped me pick up walnuts, water flowers, etc.
while they were here.

I fixed supper for 8 people tonight, fixed my grandsons' plates
and ate with them while other people did their own thing.

I have cooked three meals today, cleaned up the dishes and done
laundry. I also read to my grandsons and helped to keep my
year-old granddaughter occupied.

I've also had help to takes clothes out of the clothes dryer,
etc.

In my spare time, I make the greeting cards that I send, I am
working on my husband's genealogy, and am now working on a
calendar to give people for Christmas.

I have just completed a book "A Lifetime Together," covering the
46 years my husband and I have known each other. I also handle
the family budget and correspondence.

Now I must finish on the computer, so I can get to bed and get a
little rest before I must get up in the morning and start
another busy day.
