Life is
different these days now that our house has two slow folks in it. It does take two hands to make a loaf of
bread even in a bread machine. Bringing
two weeks of laundry up two flights of stairs isn’t functional any more. Hanging laundry requires a certain elan I’m
sometimes missing. So we hired the eldest daughter.
This visit
we paid her with brake and clutch pads for her little Toyota RAV4. She had no trouble popping them on. Money, lunches, and dinners are other methods
of payment. She retaliated by using the
chair lift for the heaviest of the work.
Bravo for her imagination.
I hope this arrangement helps all three of you.
ReplyDeleteI will return to bread making one day.
ReplyDeleteThat sounds like a good deal for all. Keep that chair lift in mind for later.
ReplyDeleteThat is just brilliant. One thing you all still got in place and that is humour!
ReplyDeleteMmm, fresh bread.
ReplyDeleteHumour helps! That bread looks yummy!
ReplyDeletesounds like an excellent arrangement.
ReplyDeleteGreat bartering system, it works for everyone. A nice looking loaf of bread, must have smelled nice as it baked.
ReplyDeleteThe whole house smelled wonderful.
DeleteSounds like you have a good working system. I haven't made bread since I got on a whole wheat, then sour dough kick when we lived in Arizona. Didn't know the starter could be frozen or I might have tried to bring it with us to Calif. We were eating too much bread anyway. I think the aroma from your loaf has escaped from the photo -- or is it just my imagination?
