Moving at the Speed of 100 - Mornings

Gladys is still catching up on her rest.
Some mornings lately she has stayed in bed
until almost 8am.

The Birthday Celebration continues with cards,
letters and candy arriving daily.

Saturday a huge gold box of candy showed up.

Gladys is up for breakfast before 7 am. She enjoys
oatmeal with blueberries or poached egg on toast with
bacon with a hot cup of coffee or tea.

This morning Gladys washed vegetables for tonights dinner.
She gave the potatoes a good scrub behind their ears.
She cleaned and cut up celery and carrots into sticks.

Her goal is to have played cards, be bathed and dressed
by 11:00 in time to open the mail. Diana Goodwin, the
Mail Carrier, usually arrives at the mailbox just before
11:00. My goal is to get the mail before Dick does...

Lunch starts just before noon, the menu varies. A
nap follows.

Guests are due to arrive this afternoon. They are hunters
from Wausau/Mosinee, Wisconsin. These fellows have been
showing up every fall for 30 years to hunt for mule deer.
