I was going to cancel my Blog - - but then, I said - - what the heck - - I enjoy typing - - so I'll continue typing my Blog for awhile. So here goes......
Tonight - - Meals on Wheels begin again (after the Holidays) at Judson ! It's Spaghetti & Meatballs for Wednesday Evening Supper at Judson. This Evening, I'll be delivering five (5) meals. Four (4) of those will be to two (2) Elderly Married Couples - - each of whose Spouse has Cancer. And, the other is to an elderly Widow, Ms. Jeanne.
Nothing is ever as E-Z as it appears - - -yes, it's E-Z to deliver meals to someone's door-step - - -however - - I managed to one evening lock the Elderly Widow, Ms. Jeanne out of her Home - - - she walked me out to her back door steps - - and I automatically locked her Back-Door! OOPS ! Thankfully, she keeps one of her doors UNLOCKED (for Emergencies) - - I assumed this was an Emergency - - - Ms. Jeanne is on a Walker and could not have successfully walked across the Front Lawn without falling - - So I quickly walked across the Front Lawn & entered through the UNLOCKED Front Door and made my way to the Back Door & unlocked it. - -Ms. Jeanne returned to the Comfort of her Home! Yes, we still laugh about it - - although, I don't think it's too amusing - - - but being in her 80's, I'm glad I can bring a little laughter into her life.
Another amusing story - - one of the other Couples to whom I deliver - - on the first evening, the Husband told his Wife, it's "the Blonde-Hair Lady" from Church delivering Meals. Now, I ask the Reader of this Blog - - do you really think I'm a "Blonde-Hair Lady" ?
When I first took this little assignment, it was only b-cuz.... Now, all the Recipients and I have developed a special Bond. It's amazing how the Elderly really enjoy a home-cooked meal. They are NOT in need of a meal - - but it's truly a JOY to have a full-course meal delivered to your Home - - - especially when you are ill. And, it's all nearby the Church - - therefore, no need to travel far - - and I've found something I truly enjoy doing !
In case you are wondering - - - tonight I just might get me a 'to-go plate' for myself !
Blondes do have more fun!
