A lot of times after work you are tired too, and I wouldn't call it lazy. My wife, Carol, walks to get the mail, about one half mile round trip, and she is happy to do that with the reward of getting the mail, but she doesn't normally like to walk. Today she did the laundry, and that means pulling the wagon full of clothes that need to be washed over to our kids' house about 600 feet away from our house. We don't have running water yet, so our daughter lets us do the laundry at her house, and then Carol brings it back to our house to hang out on the lines. We had a retractable set of four clothes lines that we had at Stehekin. We have it attached to the house, and I have a wooden post set in the ground to hook it on, and that works great.
I took our granddaughter's big dog for a walk, and the other dog came along. We went down to the corner of the property where my mother and aunts and uncles attended school. They also held Assembly of God church services there years ago when I was a little boy. The building is 25 feet by 30 feet, and it is gone now with only the foundation remaining. There was a woodshed there, a barn, an outhouse, the schoolhouse, and a well, and now they are all gone except for the concrete foundation of the schoolhouse. That place could tell some stories. One story, my mother got mad at this boy and tore all the buttons off his shirt. She had to sew them back on, and then I think she was sorry. Kind of funny!
