Monday, the bookshelves were waiting.

It is Monday and the calendar says we must report to the den and prepare to clean the bookshelves and storage areas underneath. I knew it was coming. One good part of the chore is I will get to polish more wood. I have no idea why I enjoy that chore, but I do. There is something about the aroma of the polish and the sheen of the wood once it is polished. We did put some of the books away, and we did get rid of some of the stuff that was of no use any longer. We even have one shelf that is almost barren. There is only one book on that shelf. Isn't that polished wood sheen marvelous? We worked on it all day and feel a great sense of accomplishment.

My mother called while we were working. It was nice to get the break, however, she seems to call when we are doing house cleaning. She has come to the conclusion that is all we do. I assured her that between the house cleaning chores we do seem to get it dirty.

This is just another way to...

Serve well!
